The special locking disc fits any size of tool, which is automatically aligned in the same position
every time it is mounted. The disc can be positioned either along (a) or across (b) the tool. For wide
spindle gouges there is a removable washer, which fits on the disc (c).
Turning Gouges and Carving Tools
You can grind turning gouges with the so called ngernail shape as well as carving gouges
with various shapes. You can also grind straight and curved V-tools.
The jig causes the tool to move towards the grindstone in a special way, according to the set-
ting selected from 0 to 6. This means, that for turning gouges you can decide the maximum
length of the side edges. For curved carving gouges, which are not ground with a ngernail
shape, the jig setting compensates for the shape of the shank.
The jig can be set from 0 to 6,
which permits the grinding of …
… turning gouges with various
lengths of side bevels and …
… carving gouges with various
shapes and V-tools.
The disc also works if placed diagonally.
Section seen from above.
For a large gouge with a short flute the locking disc is
removed. Flatten the top surface of the shank with a file for
repeatable alignment.
