All these sharpening threads - Angus - 01-17-2016
All these sharpening threads got me thinking, normally not a good thing.
i decided to check the angle on my gouges. They were way off of the 60 degree mark. So I checked the wheel and it's about 6 3/4 instead of the 8" when I locked the wolverine and vari-grind down. plus the grinding station was rebuilt at least twice in that time frame. I tried going off memory and compensating for the smaller wheel but now I really have things messed up. I checked the oneway instructions but only the first page will come iup for the veri-grind. I know Robo has the youtubes but all I could find was freehand using his platform. So, what are your favorite websites, youtubes or instructions for a winged bowl gouge?
Thanks,
Signed very embarrassed

Using the raptor--no thinking required. They're a good value.

They have the manual on line so can't you follow the step up and adjust for the smaller wheel?
Re: All these sharpening threads - Angus - 01-17-2016
for some reason the manual only loads the first page. I'll try again though.

Doug Thompson has a pdf you can download for free that tells you exactly how he sets the varigrind. He also has a video that shows how he profiles a tool.
I was able to re-grind mine by following those instructions.

I solved the problem by buying CBN wheel, they are always 8"

I knew that would come up lol
Jerickson, This is the only pdf I see on sharpening. It doesn't address the distance of the V-arm. Once you match the vari-grind angle do you move the v arm in or out until you get the angle you want? pdf

I have Lyle Jamiesons DVD that shows how to set it up. I could also show you how he set mine up if I was there.
Let me know if you want to borrow it.

I have a video up with my friend Larry Karlin who has been turning for maybe 50 years. He has all the jigs, and does a good job of explaining. The 60 degree bevel is a good all round type bevel, and common on the swept back/Irish/Ellsworth grinds. There are others.
