05M2301 - Veritas Grinder Tool Rest
The major weakness of most bench grinders is that the tool rests are virtually useless. It is nearly impossible to find one with a rest that is solid and square.
The Veritas Grinder Tool Rest can be used with 6" or 8" utility bench grinders and many belt sanders/grinders. It mounts directly to the bench in front of the grinder and can be readily folded out of the way for freehand grinding.
The 4" wide table straddles wheels up to 1" wide. It is grooved for sliding jigs and center drilled for rotating jigs. The slotted arms allow a wide range of angular and height adjustments. Spring-loaded gyratory handles lock it solidly in position and can be rotated out of the way after locking. You can easily move it from one grinder to another or quickly remove it from the bench.
Accurately machined, anodized aluminum construction. It is completely compatible with the Veritas grinding jig and skew-grinding jig.
Included is an angle-setting gauge to set the table to the common bevel angles of 20°, 25°, 30° and 35°.
Available as a set with our grinding jig.
Made in Canada.
Most stock bench grinder tool rests are difficult to set solidly and square. The Veritas Grinder Tool Rest mounts to the bench rather than the grinder, giving a rigid, vibration-resistant platform that locks precisely at the angle you set and stays there through the sharpening session.
It is designed for use with 6" or 8" utility bench grinders and many belt sanders and grinders. The 4" wide table straddles wheels up to 1" wide, and the slotted arms provide the height adjustment needed to align the rest with different wheel sizes.
Yes, the included angle-setting gauge has markings at 20°, 25°, 30° and 35° – the most common bevel angles for chisels and plane blades. Set the table to the marked position and the rest holds the angle consistently throughout the grinding session.
Yes, the table is grooved specifically to accept the Veritas Grinding Jig, which slides along the groove for consistent, square grinding. The rest is also compatible with the Veritas Skew-Grinding Jig and is available as a set with the grinding jig.
Yes, the rest folds out of the grinding path without needing to be fully removed from the bench. This lets you switch between guided jig work and freehand grinding without a lengthy set-up change.
