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.

On the face of it, this is a very simple jig which aids accuracy in sharpening wood-turning gouges - I definitely wouldn't use it on my carving gouges. It give one confidence in getting a reasonable cutting angle. However, it works best when you know what you are doing. I was lucky to have had help in setting it up by a colleague who had done the set up before and when you know what to do it is straightforward to use. The instructions are basic and not overly helpful: we had to make adjustments to the heights of both the grinding wheel and the jig itself before we could use it. Practice in using it is essential and, as I realise some sort of buffer wheel to finish/polish the edge is a good idea too. There are other bits that you can add to this kit, but I will stick with the basic package and learn to make it work for me.

this product works very well and produces a good finish on gouges

Great quality and good user instructions delivered promptly

This jig is an absolute Joy to use. Eliminates almost all the faults in grinding Gouges - no more burned corners of Roughing Gouge no more uneven flutes or edges on spindle gouges and an edge to die for on Bowl gouges. After several decades of battling with the tools I now have a simpler, satisfying and better way of sharpening my turning Gouges! Fabulous

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.

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.

So far so good got a good finish on the chisels easy to use
