Using the Gouge Jig
Use to sharpen:
• Bowl gouges
• Spindle gouges
• V-tools
1. Mount the tool in the tool holder with the required length
of blade protruding to allow enough clearance between the
jig and stone when in use. The protrusion varies depending
on the tool being sharpened and a good rule of thumb is at
least 50 mm (2") is sufficient for many tools. See
Fig 1 .
2. Adjust the angle of the shaft (C) relative to the tool holder
(B) using the allen screw located inside the elbow joint
(E). For shorter side bevels, such as those found on bowl
gouges, lock the shaft in the uppermost position and for
longer bevels, as on spindle gouges, lock the shaft in
lower positions. See
Fig 2 .
Please note this should be done before setting the
position of the tool to the correct nose angle as any
adjustments of the shaft after this will change the
nose angle sharpening.
3. Secure the support arm mount (D) to the support arm in a
vertical position and with it aligned centrally to the cutting
face of the sharpening wheel. See
Fig 3
.
4. With the tool secured in the tool holder (B), place the shaft
(E) in the recess of the support arm mount. The support arm
must then be moved to a position which allows the tool to
be applied to the sharpening wheel at the correct angle,
meaning that as much of the edge of the tool should come
into contact with the stone as possible. See
Fig 4 .
5. To sharpen the tool, locate the shaft (E) in the recess of
the support arm mount and carefully apply the tool to the
wheel, see
Fig 5 , ensuring contact is kept whilst pivoting
the shaft to sharpen all the way round the edge. See Fig 6 .
