Sharpening Knives


Sharpening Multiple Types of Tools

  • Goniostat - for sharpening tools at specific angles
  • Pivot Jig for SVM-45 Knife Jig - for making it easier to keep the grind angle consistent along the end of the blade as it curves to a point. Very useful for sharpening pruning shears for gardening.

Sharpening Woodworking Bench Tools


Other

  • AngleGauge - A simple gauge for identifying angles on tools
  • Break-in Jig - This is used for new diamond or CBN grinding wheels to “break” them in, reducing the aggressiveness seen on new grinding wheels.
  • Drip Tray - This is used to send water, dripping from tools, back into the water trough (instead of dropping onto the top of the machine).
  • Honing Support Bar - a secondary bar which allows for sharpening and honing without having to re-adjust the USB when switching between the two wheels
  • Stone Nut Spacer - for keeping the spindle aligned properly when the grindstone has been removed.
