Exact replication on woodturning fingernail gouges and skews

Fingernail gouges and skews with a curved edge are difficult to sharpen with precision due to the complicated geometries. Both the shape and edge angle must be repeated exactly. Look at the geometries shown in the picture achieved on a fingernail spindle gouge, a fingernail bowl gouge, a plane skew with a radius edge and on an oval skew with a curved edge.

This latest development from TORMEK, the Turning Tool Setter TTS-100 solves this problem and makes the sharpening an easy task. It enables you to exactly replicate the edge on bowl or spindle gouges as well as flat or oval skews with either a straight or a curved edge.

Thanks to the exact settings at each sharpening – you can just touch up the edge and the work is done in seconds. You do not shape but sharpen the tool.

The Setter works with the TORMEK jigs SVD-185 for gouges and the SVS-50 for skews. The built in settings give you pre-determined edge geometries, which are recommended by experienced turners around the world. You do not need to worry about whether you have the right shape.

Another benefit of the design is that it works irrespectively of the stone diameter. You always get exactly the same edge angle – even when you switch from a worn stone to a new larger one. The Turning Tool Setter works as well when setting the edge angle on the leather honing wheel.

This is how it works:
One side of the setter works as a protrusion measure when mounting the tool in the jig. Setting the Universal Support with the TTS-100 Setter. Touching up the edge at exactly the same geometry.

Tormek Short Tool Jig
This patented jig was developed for short woodcarving tools, butt chisels and tools for power carvers. The jig has two parallel flanges running on both sides of the Universal Support.

The technique achieved with this design ensures that at all times the jig – even when rotated – holds the tool square to the grindstone. This is a great advantage, as you can continuously concentrate on how the edge touches the grindstone or the honing wheel without having to worry whether the jig is square to the stone.

Original Grindstone

Tormek Original Grindstone

The Tormek Original Grindstone has evolved over the years to offer the best combination of efficient steel removal, smooth surface finish and a long life. This stone efficiently cuts all types of tools and steel qualities including HSS. It is delivered with the T-7 model (SG-250) and with the T-3 model (SG-200).

The unique composition of the stone, together with the Stone Grader SP-650 gives you two different cutting actions in one stone. The Stone grader polishes the surface of the grindstone from its normal 220 grit to a finish that works like a 1000 grit stone. This is a great advantage, since you can do the fine sharpening* with the same setting of the jig as used for the initial shaping* of the tool. The Original Grindstone is the ideal choice when you want both efficient steel removal and fine finish in the same stone over a wide variety of materials, from carbon steel to high speed steel.
