(16) Gouge Jig Tormek® SVS-185 Technique
Technique:
When sharpening a tool with swept back sides, do not
over grind the center of the tool. Spend most of the
grind time on the sides/wings of the tool to create the
proper shape. Over grinding the tip or center of the
tool will not create the proper ‘swept back side’
geometry. Move smoothly and swiftly from side to
side for best surface finish and result.
Abrasive Selection:
Use the P80 grit for fast and cool grinding.
This will quickly establish a smooth surface
finish and a burr. A burr will form on your tool
even though you may not be grinding the tool
perpendicular to the abrasive like on a
vertical grinder.
If you choose, you can progress to finer grit
abrasives for a more refined surface finish.
