SVD-186

JR DUBUY on the Tormek forum recommended using the Tormek SVD-186 Gouge Jig with these settings. It works quite well.

Open Seat on SVS-50

Alan Batty recommended 45°, and this is generally recommended by many. I certainly recognize Mr. Batty's proven experience, but I've found that the 35° realized with these Tormek settings works extremely well.

Use with the Tormek SVS-50 Multi Jig with the Open Seat.

• Marty Kiminsky noted that 40-45° is generally recommended for this tool, and that his personal preference is 40°. See also, "Woodturning" magazine, issue # 352.
