When they get blunt and heavy on the shoulder, Find a carpenter who has a Tormek sharpener for his chisels. Get him to reset the edge. It will be hollow ground if you prefer that grind.

Should never need to put chisels or plane irons on a grinder, mine have never been near one in 30+ years of owning or using, I don't even own a grinder apart from cutting ones.

Good advice. Although in the case of the Bahco I think a bastard file would be quite appropriate. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/basta...%20very%20fine.

Lathe chisels/gouges?

Pretty difficult to cut a hollow grind with an oil stone HJ.

Back on point it’s not hard to change a scandi grind or flat grind to a hollow grind and make them a bit quicker to sharpen.
