Ultimate Jig for Woodturning Tools
The SVD-186 R Gouge Jig provides consistent repeatability in both the shape and sharpening angle of your tools, which is crucial for predictable performance at the lathe. Whether you’re shaping the wings of your gouges to fit your woodturning style or sharpening woodturning cutters, the SVD-186 R ensures rapid and sharp results.
Innovative Design for Complex Shapes
Sharpening tools with complex shapes, such as curved or bent woodcarving gouges, is simplified with the SVD-186 R. The jig’s design, complemented by Tormek’s slow-rotating, water-cooled grinding wheels, prevents overheating and ensures a delicate, sharp edge on your tools. This makes it ideal for both high carbon steel and more delicate blades.
Sharpening with Precision
Adjustability is a key feature of the SVD-186 R, allowing for different profiles to be achieved. This flexibility means woodturners and carvers can either adhere to Tormek’s recommended “recipes” for sharpening or develop their own unique profiles, ensuring their tools are sharpened to their specific requirements.
Enhanced Control and Safety
The jig includes a locking knob to halt the rotational movement, offering enhanced control when sharpening tools that require a static position, such as V-gouges or luthier knives. This feature is especially useful when a flat bevel is needed, and combined with Tormek’s MB-102 Multi Base and diamond grinding wheels, it ensures precision and safety.
Re-profiling and Rough Sharpening
For new tools or those requiring significant re-profiling, the SVD-186 R can be used in conjunction with a bench grinder via the BGM-100 Bench Grinder Mounting Set. This combination allows for the rapid removal of material without sacrificing the tool’s final sharpness, offering the best of both worlds in terms of efficiency and precision.
The SVD-186 R Gouge Jig by Tormek is an essential tool for any woodturner or carver looking to achieve professional-grade sharpness and precision in their work. Its versatility, combined with the ability to create repeatable and customizable profiles, makes it an invaluable addition to any workshop. Whether you’re working on delicate carving tools or robust woodturning gouges, the SVD-186 R ensures your tools are always at their best, allowing you to focus on creating exceptional pieces.
