Gouge Chisel Sharpening Jig for Wood Lathe Woodturning chisels for Bench Grinder

Pretty simple to set up for the grinder.Once I've got my angle on whatever gouge I'm using, holding in the jig, it does the job perfectly.Obviously the more I use, the more confident I'll get.Great value for money, feels very sturdy and should last a long time.

Quite easy to set up. Very robust. Was able to sharpen my 1/2" bowl gouge satisfactorily the very first time. Cuts beautifully now and with a proper bevel. I have been struggling to sharpen gouges the way Richard Raffan does it - by hand and eye. But with a jig the long bevels are now a work of art.One area I think a slight improvement could be made is the bolt securing the gouge to the jig. If it had something on the end (perhaps a rubber tip?) it might be a bit easier to get the horizontal alignment right - particularly on small gouges (e.g. 1/4" flute).The other thing would be some adjustment on the tilt angle for the jig, but it does work beautifully well at the set angle. I will probably knock up an adjustable attachment if I find I need one. I bought this as a punt, half expecting to send it back, but it's a keeper. Make sure you watch the YT video linked in the printed instructions - it's much better than the videos the manufacturer has on their own channel. Overall very pleased.

Very pleased with jig.

Perfect jig. I have it fitted and used straight away,it's that simple. Instructions gave the proper sizings,my only problem is,"when is it sharp enough?"

I'm a newbie turner so little experience in tool sharpening but this jig is well made and does exactly what it says on the tin and it appears to be the same as one bought by my mentor elsewhere for twice this price. Very ease to use although my inexperience means a steep learning curve but surprised and pleased to fairly easily obtain a sharp and clean edge/bevel to my spindle and roughing gouges although now realise the flat base jig would be better for parting/skew so will have to start saving my pennies again! Recommended.

Very pleased. Recently started wood turning and didn't look forward to sharpeing my chisels unaided. This looked a good option (I had an old B&D grinder) so went for it. Had to remount my grider on some different boards to get the right spacing/height for mounting and then using the tool but the installation instructions are clear. Once done it's a doddle just to put a shine/edge back on my bowl gouges etc. They say a blunt chisel is dangerous and this really is a easy way to keep them sharp and with correct angles.

This is a great aid to sharpening lathe tools. Once set up it is great for enabling consistent grinding angles on a grid wheel.Highly recommend.

Not very well thought out - some parts do not fit/work with each other but no warning is given before purchasing. All in all not really worth any more than 3 stars.
