DIY Tormek / Wen sharpening jigs, Part 3 – short tool sharpening jig for slow-speed wet grinders

This is the third of a series of videos of DIY jigs for slow-speed wet grinders like the Tormek T8, WEN BG-4270, WEN BG-9910, or versions by Harbor Freight, Grizzly, Triton, Rikon, Jet, Scheppach and others. This jig will work on any whetsone sharpening system that has a jig bar for the jig to ride against.

This jig is for small or medium sized chisels and gouges. Being able to maintain a precise angle on a tool means you'll be grinding off less metal each time you sharpen, and the tool will last longer. With this jig you can easily get consistent, repeatable bevels, which many people find hard to do when sharpening freehand with traditional oil or water stones. The jig is easy to make and can be made from scraps of hardwood and easy to find hardware.

There are .pdfs linked below for both imperial (inches) versions and metric versions, and we'll be adding links to all of the other videos in this series as they go online.
