Tip: Move the tool from one side to the other on the
tool rest in a smooth, steady motion. This will create
a consistent cutting edge. Avoid starting the
grinding in the center of the tool. Start at one side
and smoothly move the tool to the other side. Check
edge for grind pattern and sharpness progress
after every other pass.
CAUTION - Due to the rotation of the wheel, the tool
may want to push into or away from the tool rest.
Use a firm grip.

(8) Tool Rest Jig Tormek® SVD-100

Sharpening Scrapers:
• Mount tool bar in either ‘A’ or ‘B’ position.

Position A - best for angles less than 70°
Position B - best for angles between 70° and 90°

• Mount and clamp the Tool Rest onto the Tool Bar.
• Set the bar height (H) so tool rest is ¼” above the wheel.
• Place your scraper firmly onto the tool rest so the tip is
on the abrasive disk.
• Adjust the Tool Rest angle so the scraper bevel is flat on
the abrasive.
• Tighten the Tool Rest Knob to secure the chosen angle.

Or set the angle desired for your scraper by using a
protractor to measure the angle between the
abrasive and Tool Rest.

• Use the coarse P80 grit abrasive for the fastest results
and best burr formation.
• Smoothly work the tool back and forth on the abrasive
disk until a burr is raised.

Option: Use a burnishing rod to increase the burr at the
cutting edge.
