Kudos on your hollow grind. Never tried one as I haven't bit the bullet as yet to buy the KMG hollow grind attachement. (Yep, should have got it when I got the grinder) Also, heck, I'm still trying to get my flat grinds right!
I try to define the bevel, grinding it about 1/2 way before HT and then finish after HT. I run into most of my problems with the higher grits. I'll get everything to my satisfaction up through about 320 grit then invariably at that point or at the 400 grit I end up somehow losing the feel for the bevel, somehow tilting the blade and getting a secondary angle. I've found I DON'T like the light J-Flex belts. That's what I have in the finer grits and I just feel they are too flexible/thin. Plus I get the "bump" from the tape joint.

Gonna have to try the Gators.
