Tormek SVS-50 Multi Grinding Jig

A real all-rounder when it comes to tool sharpening.

The closed seat allows you to sharpen the vast majority of skew chisels with precision, regardless of whether they have a rectangular or rounded blade and a straight or rounded edge. The tool is mounted vertically in the center of the jig, so you only need to mount the tool once to sharpen two sides. When you've finished one side, turn the jig upside down and then grind the tool to a symmetrical shape.

You can also sharpen chisels with oval cross-sections thanks to a unique and patented design, as well as your chisels with rectangular blades. The jig straightens the chisel so that it's parallel to the universal support, allowing you to sharpen both straight and rounded edges. Maximum woodturning chisel width is 32 mm (1.3").

The open seat, where the tool is mounted with the top screw, is best used for tools with an edge across the longitudinal direction. It's also ideal for sharpening woodturning parting tools, roughing gouges and wide carving gouges. Both the open and closed seat are mounted using a bottom screw, which also locks it at the selected angle.

Do you have a new woodturning tool and need to remove a lot of steel to change its profile? The BGM-100 Bench Grinder Mounting Set will allow you to use the SVS-50 Multi Jig on a bench grinder too. But you have to be careful not to overheat the edge here. When you've completed the initial rough sharpening on the bench grinder, you then switch to the Tormek machine and give the edge its final sharpness
