Multi Jig SVS-50
Grinding direction:
away from the edge.
Design
This patented jig consists of a housing (1) and two interchangeable seats – one closed, (2)
and one open, (3). The seats can swivel and be locked with the screw (6) at any skew angle
between 0° and 45°. Skew chisels have symmetrical bevels on both sides. With this jig you
mount the tool only once for grinding both the bevels. By turning the jig upside down you
can grind both of the bevels symmetrically.
