Sharpening jigs, which one?
#14
I currently have a 6” grinder, but would like to upgrade to an 8” slow speed if I can find a deal on one sometime. Thanks for the heads up about the stones/bushings. To be honest I haven’t thought that far ahead yet. I don’t even know what grit the stones on my grinder are, that tip very well may come into play.

Ken Rizza really help me a lot on the CBN wheels and grinder.

This is what I got.  It was the 180 and 600 CBN wheels plus the Rikon grinder and the Self-Aligning Spherical Washer which keeps the wheels from wobbling and stays straight.

The one below came with one wheel and I selected the 180 CBN and paid extra for the 600 CBN.  It is a 1/2hp and if I did it again I would get the 1hp motor

As of this time I am not teaching vets to turn. Also please do not send any items to me without prior notification.  Thank You Everyone.

It is always the right time, to do the right thing.

I use the Lee Valley tool rest. I prefer to grind mine freehand since my gouges have an Ellsworth grind on them. Other tools like scrapers, skews or parting tools, don't need any specialized jig to sharpen.
