Here is a photo from Mike of two different grinds showing how much the geometrics of the point can be adjusted manually using the template set.

I saw the post and liked what I saw. At the time I didn't really understand what the 3rd template would be used for but I ordered the set and thought I would understand what the Rounded Heel template was for once I received the set and sharpened a couple of gravers.
I didn't want to be the dummy and have to ask just what it was to be used for but since I haven't seen anyone else ask the question in any of the other post I have to ask.
Could you please explain to me just what the Rounded Heel template is to be use for?
Thanks Jim P
