05M0601 - Veritas Grinding Jig
The grinding jig works with any power or hand grinder that has a tool rest.
Put a tool in the jig, slide it against the alignment pin and one clamping thumbscrew to square it, adjust the blade projection for bevel angle, and tighten in place. The tool is now held squarely in the jig at the chosen bevel angle. Slide the jig back and forth across the tool rest and stone face to sharpen the tool.
The brass clamping bolts have nylon washers to prevent galling; other parts are made from hard aluminum, further hardened by anodizing to prevent wear. High-friction pads ensure solid clamping without inadvertent misalignment.
The jig fits in the slot of the Veritas grinder tool rest; the riding ledges adapt it to other tool rests.
Also available as a set with our grinder tool rest.
Made in Canada.
Slide the blade against the alignment pin and one clamping thumbscrew to square it, then adjust the blade projection until it corresponds to the desired bevel angle. Once set, tighten the remaining clamping screw. The jig holds the blade at that angle consistently as you slide it across the tool rest.
The jig fits directly in the groove of the Veritas Grinder Tool Rest. For other tool rests, riding ledges on the sides of the jig provide the necessary registration surface, so it is compatible with most power and hand grinders that have a flat tool rest.
Yes, the backplate is offset specifically to accommodate short blades such as Japanese and western butt chisels.
High-friction pads on the clamping faces resist blade movement when tightening the thumbscrews. The brass clamping bolts also use nylon washers to prevent galling, so the clamping action stays smooth and consistent over time.
