Why Choose the SVA-170 Axe Jig?
- Superior Sharpness: With the SVA-170, your axes will achieve an unparalleled level of sharpness, enhancing their cutting efficiency and extending the edge’s lifespan.
- Precision and Ease: The jig facilitates easy and precise sharpening, making it accessible to both novices and professionals.
- Universal Compatibility: It is designed to work flawlessly with Tormek T-4, T-8, and older models, ensuring a broad application range.
- Versatile Use: The SVA-170 is suitable for most types of axes, accommodating various shapes and sizes from outdoor and carving axes to cleavers and carpenter’s axes.
Adapting to Edge Shapes and Sharpening Needs
The jig’s design allows for easy adaptation to the unique shape of your axe’s edge, whether straight or curved. By fixing the axe to the rubber stop of the jig, you maintain consistent contact with the sharpening stone, ensuring an even sharpening process. Unlike traditional dry grinding methods, which pose a risk of overheating and damaging the edge, the Tormek system’s low RPM and continuous water cooling prevent any harm to your tool.
Customizable Sharpening Angles
The SVA-170 enables you to select the most effective sharpening angle based on the intended use of your axe. From all-round axes used in sports and leisure, which require a larger edge angle for durability, to carving axes that may benefit from an asymmetrical sharpening for easier cutting. This level of customization ensures that your axe is not only sharp but also tailored to your specific needs.
Ergonomic and Safe Sharpening
One of the significant advantages of using the SVA-170 is the elimination of hand cramps commonly associated with manual sharpening. The rotation of the Tormek grinding wheel naturally pushes the axe against the jig’s rubber stop, applying the optimal pressure for sharpening without the risk of the edge digging into the wheel. This automatic pressure adjustment means less effort is required from you, making the sharpening process more comfortable and safer.
