i've used the wolverine and varigrind for several years. love it! the other toolrest is perfect for scrapers of course. excellent quality tool, my 80 year old wood lathe has all oneway accessories, great stuff and made in canada too
Will probably set up and try the Vari-Grind soon, but even without it I'm pleased with the results, and the build quality is indeed really high, as would be expected from a company like Oneway.
@@WoodenThingsAndStuff i've been to their factory, it's about an hour from me, very impressive. i got the varigrind soon after i started turning, it makes repeatabilty easy
Very nice video. Glad you blew the years of dust off of it before the grand opening. :D And enjoyed Mike's Mounting Techniques using starbond. Glad future Mike came here to learn.
Finally! You got that thing set up. Yes, Mike, the Vari Grind makes things much easier and more accurate once you learn how to use it. It also makes it easier to work with extra-long handles since it holds the tool from the shank instead of needing to be extended to the end of the tool.
Your videowas great. Set up mine today. sure seems way faster and accurate than doing it freehand and eyeballing it. Used the varigrind. should have done this a lot sooner.
@@deltaacht Thanks very much! I also should have done it sooner. Got okay at freehanding it, but this is so much easier and quicker, which makes me sharpen more frequently.
Mike great instructional video - My grinder has 6inch wheels - would you know what height to wheel centre I need to install the oneway system ? Regards Andy
Sorry, Andy. No answer for that. Just measure from the base to the middle of the wheel, but make sure you add a riser first for the grinder to sit on if the channel the post rides in doesn't fit under the housing.
Awesome video. I have a different system but same concept. I really like the attachment for the smaller gouges. The tool rest for the rough gouge, parting tool and scrapers. Keep up the awesome work. 👽
Thanks for the video. Yes you will like the vari-grind attachment. You should use it right in the beginning because you will reduce the grinds without grinding half your tool away. It’s good for fingernail grind, bowl gouge and side or Irish grind. Vari-grind 2 is even better because it increases the ease of use. I’m surely going to enjoy sharpening my turning tools a lot more
I'm probably setting it up next week, because I kind of haven't been happy with my grind since I did the Wolverine setup (though I haven't turned a ton since then). Will do a follow-up video on how things have been going.
As a fellow woodworker I can confirm that what we do is lose pencils we literally just had in our hand. Everyday is like 20% work, 80% looking for pencils
I assume at this point you figured out the stamped steel parts. My instructions did cover them, but it did not jump out at you. We might have different instruction versions,
Having a hard time with a WEN variable speed grinder. Base seems too wide. Doesn’t align anything with the base. Even if I raise it on another base diamond doesn’t align with the wheel.
@@robertmunguia250 unfortunately I can't be of any help. If you still haven't figured it out, maybe reach out to Oneway. I'm told their customer service is top notch.
Awesome intro!!! Congratulations on your grinder becoming the ultimate sharpening tool!!!!🎉🎉🎉
Can't speak for the marketing, but it's certainly BETTER. haha

Past Mike should really be more considerate to Future Mike.

Will probably set it up soon and see. Might do a follow-up video....
Awesome video Mike! I love the new addition to the shop!
So far so good!
glad to see you put this together, they are nice. You will like the varigrind attachment once you start using it.
Will probably do that soon. But that's what I thought about the jig itself....se we'll see. Haha

helpful video. I'm setting up my jig now
@@cheesefactory6633 glad it helped!
This new intro is really fantastic, Mike!
Too bad the rest of them still suck? Is that what you're getting at? hahaha

Fantastic video, especially the intro.
Thanks, man.
Sweet deal. That will definitely keep you on track, with keeping them sharp.
Here's hoping!

I think the future Mike should definitely set up the veri-grind! 😂
Yes, I’d like to see the Vari-grind accessory
I assume at this point you figured out the stamped steel parts. My instructions did cover them, but it did not jump out at you. We might have different instruction versions,
I actually never did. They're around somewhere....
Wow, that must’ve been sitting around for a long time before it to have a CD instructional

I found the Veri-Grind system more accurate and repeatable. Your milage may vary.
I think I'll set it up pretty soon and see if I like it. Maybe for a follow-up video.....
Seems like a lot of effort when you could’ve just brought a pro edge 😂😂
Agreed. Money is a better solution.
@@WoodenThingsAndStuff 😂😂 wouldn’t it be nice!
Nice video 🖤
Thanks!
