Alan Budden's 3D-printed jigs
Grinding the blade’s bottom side	Grinding the blade’s top side on the side of the grinding wheel

Alan Budden (Dr.AI on the Tormek Forum) posted links in 2023 to some jigs which can be 3D-printed and used for sharping the traditional blades.

Alan created two versions of these jigs:

1. the style shown to the right for sharpening on the Tormek, and
2. a different version for sharpening on traditional bench stones using an Eclipse style honing guide.

Links to the Printables.com web site where Alan published these designs are below.
