Thought some of you might be interested in this.

If you have a belt sander you can make your own.

I am still messing about with my version but I am getting there.


Tool Sharpening - the ProEdge Sharpening System from Robert Sorby

Is the problem the flat grind and therefore some bounce = catches?. Drillit.

Hi Drillit.

No the problem is not the flat grind, I prefer a flat grind as it happens.

I sharpened a couple of gouges and got the best edge I have ever had on a gouge. Cut timber beautifully with an almost flawless finish off the tool on pine.

My problem is that i had to make one part of the jig from wood and this gave me a bit of play that gives me a very slightly different shape on each side of the flute.

Now that I have proved the concept I have acquired a piece of aluminium bar to make a better boss. I should then be flying.

Will post pics when done.
