#16. DIY knife sharpening jig (inspired from SVM45 jig)

- In this video I will be making a knife sharpening jig similar to the Tormek SVM-45.
The official jig costs around 20€. Given the time it required to make, it's not worth the time spent to make it. However, it was really fun to make and will be very useful for future sharpenings.
This is the second jig I've made myselft for my old Tormek SA-250. If you haven't checked out the first one, he's the link :
• #11. DIY Tormek SA-250... .
I've planned to make the whole jig series of Tormek (SVM140, SVX-150, SVA-170, SVS-38, SVD-110, XB-100, etc). Stay tunned.

Really appreciate this video, every time an interesting metal video comes up the maker casually turns to the mill, we are just enthusiasts, we have a few tools collected over a lifetime, a drill a grinder, a hacksaw, etc. please remember we are your audience, don’t casually turn to pretty serious kit that we only dream of.
🤔🤔 not sure I understood everything but thanks again.
Inspiring!
Thanks for watching
Would have been nice to get a clear shot of the actual set up assembled. Is the holder arm just sitting on the horizontal rest?
Yes it is. The wooden arm is resting on the horizontal support bar, just like the original one.
@@WoodfulProjects Thanks for clarifying.
@@aries6776 thanks for watching 👍
I don't have metal working tools, so what would you charge to make one.
Given the amount of time it takes me to make one, adding the shipping costs and material costs, it is absolutely not worthy for you neither for me to make one :). It will cost you way less to buy the original one (which costs around 18€). Thanks for watching.
@@WoodfulProjects I am not familiar with any monies other than USA dollars. convert please and thanks for the video.
It is roughly the same amount in US$. Just look up on google svm45 and you’ll find what you’re looking for. Best of luck.
Why waste 1/3 of video on making a wooden stop/handle and then fast forward the important making of the jaws.
The whole video is a fast forward if you carefully watch it. Now, if you have any question about the making of the jaws I’ll be glad to answer. Thanks for watching.
How thick is thr sheet metal from which you made the jig?
Croatija.
Hi Stefko,
The sheet is 5mm thick but even 3 or 4 mm will give the same result. Cheers
@@WoodfulProjects thx.
will it centre a thick knife?
Hi. The jig can handle up to 8mm of thickness. Regarding the centering, as noted by one of the viewers (see comment) there is a gap between the upper part and the lower part relating to the support rod. Meaning that the edge of the knife will be offset of 0,001mm or something la that (nothing noticeable).
Qual a espessura da chapa q vc uzo
Thank you, slow down on the meat of the video, the metal, clamp that’s why we watch, not the handle
,
Got it. I’ll do better next time as I plan to make the whole series of Tormek jigs.
the factory clamp gives asymmetry on the cutting edge. you can completely keep silent about your invention. and taking into account all the manipulations necessary for production, it is cheaper to go and buy.
Not sure about what factory clamp you are talking about and not sure to what asymetry you are referring too. As you can read it in the description, given all the work it required, it is indeed easier to buy it. But, this is worth for 90% of DIY videos on youtube. It's always easier to buy and not to do it yourself because you can't compete with big factories and economies of scale... Anyway, thanks for watching.
@@WoodfulProjects I'm talking about the original holder. if you want to achieve high accuracy when sharpening, then the tool must be appropriate.
cutting edge asymmetry. when the edge width on one side is different from the width on the other side of the knife.
@@workshop_oselok_kyiv at what moment did I mention high accuracy? I mean, I’m an amateur and at no point I claim that this is the best solution. It’s just an alternative to the original and it satisfies me totally. I do understand now what you mean by asymmetry. But let’s be honest, there less asymmetry due to the width difference in my jig than there is due to the use (totally manual) of an original Svm45. 80% of people I’ve seen do not use it properly, and if you’re part of the remaining 20%, then glad for you.
Apa bisa pessn jignya??
Berapa harganya?
Sorry, don’t understand.
Can I order the jig?
How mauch does it cost?
@@tohaismail9815oh, sorry I don’t sell the jigs, I just do them for my own use. But if I may recommend something, it would cost you less to buy the official SVM45 jig, which costs somewhere between 15 and 20$. Cheers
No tools
🙄?
When you make it you're self at least it is all metal and not that half assed plastic junk they sell from Tormek ( the new one , the old type hade more metal ) 🙄🙄
