Sharpening Jigs for Woodturning Tools - Review of Grinding Jig & Skew Attachment

- Is the Wolverine Grinding Jig and Skew Attachment Jig worth purchasing? I show unboxing, installing, and testing out these jigs in this tool review for woodturning. This is not a sponsored video so you're getting my unbiased opinion on how well this works.
For some background, I had previously used part of this sharpening jig in another workshop when I attended a Lathe Tool Sharpening class at Lee Valley Tools. I saw how it worked and ended up buying this. I wasn't sure how all of the features worked so I thought I would share my experience in a tool review video.

Scott: nothing like having the proper tools to do the job right. I can’t wait to see you work on the leg. Carol from California
That's right Carol. Cheers.
This is an important explanation, thank you very much.
Glad you found it helpful. Scott
Oh and I couldn't tell if you used the special washers that slide as you tighten to get a perfect centrifugal alignment. If you touch the inside of the wheel as it's running, and you feel any vibration it is not set right and you need those washers. Can't remember what they call them. Also, do not get a variable speed grinder that goes from low speed to high speed. Variable speed has issues with torque. Keep your high speed, but definitely get something in the 1700, 1750 rpm speed range. Can't go wrong with Rikon. 1/2 Hp, 3/4 Hp, or 1 HP. I can't imagine a 1HP when using CBN is absolutely necessary as it's only gonna be on for a short while. But, better motors are more durable and tend to last longer.
some really good tips and tricks in here! Just need to get myself a grinder now lol
Glad you found it helpful. Scott
Just make sure it's a slow speed with an rpm range around 1750. And make sure it's not variable speed with a twist dial from slow to fast. It should stay at this slow speed. There's a great article I found about how variable speed doesn't give enough torque and when sharpening the strength of the wheel turning dies very rapidly due to the variable speed, whereas a set slow speed maintains this constant speed like cruise control. A variable speed reacts like holding the accelerator on a car at a certain speed and tapping the brake at the same time. The brake being hold a chisel against the wheel on a grinder. Hope this helps. Stick with Rikon if you can. I don't support Rikon. I just notice that all the pros seem to use them. Or those whose opinions I trust. Now, there are other good ones like Jet and Delta. But, stay away from the cheapos. After all, this is an extremely important tool in your shop. Table saw or Track Saw and mitre saw. Grinder. Screws, nails, staple, glue. After you get those, I would get a human to operate these tools. Preferably yourself. These are jokes, not digs of any kind. Just my mind at 200%. 110% is insanity.
Thanks for your video. But, can you explain me,how did you align the front of the wheels with the front of the bases?
It's just a matter of looking at the wheel from the side and ensuring the face of the wheel is plumb with the front edge of the base. Make sense? Scott
Thank you, i understood !
Is your grinder a low speed? I've heard CBN wheels need a lower speed to be fully effective. Thanks for the info!
Question in a home improvement project I'm working on. I am curious on the relationship between the size of the door & the application of force needed to break from magnet.
My goal is trying to figure out how to reduce the applied force on the door so it opens easier. I wasn’t sure if the size of the door distributes the force in a manner where, if the magnet strip stays the same, it becomes easier to break that magnetic attraction. What are your thoughts?
Interesting question. I'm not an expert but I'll give you my thoughts. The more surface area there is for the magnetic weather stripping to connect with, the more force will be needed to pull the door open. One way to counteract the force would be to replace a section of the weather stripping with some that is not magnetic. Just be cautious though... if this is on a passage door into a garage, the magnetic weather stripping is important to prevent carbon dioxide from entering the home if a vehicle is running in the garage.
Get a slow speed grinder by Rikon. Your results will be so much smoother.
Great tool! I cant get it where I'm from so l'll have to improvise one! 😉
That's too bad. I've seen some DIY videos with a similar setup. Good luck with your project. Scott
What grit is your CBN wheel?
The grit on this wheel is an 80. I've also added a 200 since filming this video. Cheers.
That isn’t a low speed grinder?
