Using the Gouge Jig
Mount the tool in the tool holder with the required length of blade
protruding to allow enough clearance between the jig and stone when in
use. The protrusion varies depending on the tool being sharpened and a
good rule of thumb is at least 50 mm (2”) is sufficient for many tools. See
Fig 10.1.1
.
Adjust the angle of the shaft relative to the tool holder using the hex head
socket screw located in the elbow joint. For shorter side bevels, such as
those found on bowl gouges, lock the shaft in the uppermost position and
for longer bevels, as on spindle gouges, lock the shaft in lower positions.
See
Fig 10.1.2
.
Please note this should be done before setting the position of
the tool to the correct bevel angle as any adjustments of the
shaft after this will change the bevel angle that will be applied
to the stone.
Place the support arm in the side position.
Secure the support arm mount to the support arm and align it centrally to
the cutting face of the sharpening wheel. See
Fig 10.1.3
.
With the tool secured in the tool holder, place the shaft in the recess of the
support arm mount as shown in
