Wolverine Vari-Grind 2 Jig Only

Very easy to use. Will turn every novice into an expert sharpener. If you like to touch-up your edge quickly during a turning project so that you can turn with razor sharp tools, this is the way to go. I recommend that you record (write down) the settings you prefer for each tool so that you can quickly reset the jig. Don't press hard when sharpening. Don't rush it. Use a Low Speed Grinder. I sharpen with a, 8" 120 grit Low Speed wheel. Once you have your angles and settings (rails, foot, etc.) recorded, it literally only takes about 20 seconds to reset for a touch-up. Well worth the investment.

The product itself is worth five stars, but I'm giving it only four stars because the instructions are not clear. It came with a DVD, which is helpful, but there are still questions. It does a great job grinding my gouges, making it fast and repeatable, once it is set up.

Great product but have to set by trial and error to get grind needed.

Does a great job on bowl gouges with their difficult grind - this makes it a relative snap. To be used as an accessory to the main Wolverine jig.

Great for sharpening swept back gouge

the dvd is handy but i wish the instructions were a little more clear, or written... definitely a learning curve to getting the grind you want.

my setup time is so much faster and the repeatability is so much easier for various gouges. much better than the Vari-grind #1 that I first used for about a year. it worked fine also but the #2 is a big step up and just plain and simple makes life easier. they both have their uses and I still use both.

The jig has done everything I expected; however, the dvd on how to use it was worthless. The demonstrator was wearing black and trying to show how to set up the Vari-Grind 2 jig. The camera work is of very poor quality. You are better off going to you tube for a competent demonstration.Mac
