We have a "Wolverine" grinding jig in the workshop! This contraption makes it easy to sharpen woodturning tools, particularly skew chisels and gouges.
Caution: while the jig helps maintain a fixed angle, it is important to only make slight passes and take care to grind the tool evenly across its entire width: if you spend too long in one area, the bevel will change due to the removal of material (the tool wanders down on the stone) and you can still produce an uneven edge!
For fingernail and swept-back grinds, the Wolverine Jig can be extended with the Vari-Grind Attachment, which allows additional and more complex sharpening geometries.
Setup
The jig has four indentations for the feet of the Triton TWSS10 grinder which is put on top of the whole contraption.
When not in use, the jig should not stay under the grinder: it would not survive dripping water for very long :-(
For now, it lives in the woodturning area (on the wall above the Tyme Avon lathe).
Usage
Check out the manual and this YouTube video: Curtis Turner - Oneway Wolverine Jig Product Tour.
Vari-Grind Attachment
Besides the base jig, Lukas also donated a Vari-Grind attachment which allows additional sharpening geometries:
- fingernail grind
- bowl gouge grind
- side grind
Please add your experiences (good or bad) and successful configurations here!
