Sharpening Jig

Post by mikelst »

Some Time ago I remember seeing plans for a shop made sharpening jig. I am pretty sure it was in a ShopSmith publication or manual. I have looked in a 55 and an 89 copy of PTWFE and didn't find it there. Does anyone remember where I might have seen this.

Thanks
Mike

are you looking for a jig to sharpen lathe tools or plane irons? i don't recall seeing anything specific to shopsmith but there are plans available for a homemade "wolverine" style jig at: http://aroundthewoods.com/sharpening01.html

there are several pages to read through

Hi,

Have you checked out:
http://www.shopsmith.com/academy/sharpening/index.htm

If not it might at least be another place to check.

Try the 1984 edition of PTWFE page 334. May be what you want.

What is on the sanding disc -- (assuming that's the regular flat disc) -- is it just regular sand paper or something else? Just curious!

Do not use the velcro system for any sharpening operations (some velcro backed disks are garnet sandpaper [knot recommended for ferrous metals] and some are aluminum oxide). You can easily damage your paper disks in the process. Probably wood knot use the regular aluminum oxide disks, but rather the cloth backed aluminum oxide disks (in 100 gritor 150 grit) wood be best.
