Turning Tool Setter TTS-100
The patented Turning Tool Setter is the key to the Tormek Sharpening System for woodturn-
ing tools. It enables you to exactly create and replicate the edge on your bowl and spindle
gouges as well as on your at or oval skews with either a straight or a curved edge. It works
in conjunction with the Gouge Jig SVD-186 and the Multi Jig SVS-50.

How Does It Work?
Three factors determine the shape of a gouge or a skew; the jig setting (JS), the protrusion (P)
and the distance of the Universal Support from the grinding wheel (hole A or B). By controlling
these factors and repeating them at each sharpening you will get an exact replication of the
shape and edge angle every time.

Summary

How Does It Work?

Key Factors for Shaping

Three factors (jig setting, protrusion, universal support distance) determine shape. Repeating them ensures exact replication.

Selected Shapes and Edge Angles

Understanding Tool Variations

Manufacturers offer diverse tool shapes and edge angles; Tormek now provides guidance for setting them.

Recommended Geometries

The Selection Chart offers geometries recommended by experienced woodturners and workshops worldwide.

Maintaining Tool Shape

Stick to a chosen shape for efficiency and longevity; buy extra tools for different work rather than altering one.

Profile Labels

Using Profile Labels

Apply profile labels to the ferrule to record settings (JS, P, Hole) for exact replication every time.
