Wolverine grinding jig

[skeeter]

I am in the market for a sharpening system for lathe tools and was wondering about the Wolverine system. I know there are some expensive systems on the market but the Wolverine seems to be pretty easy to set up and use (just from reading the ads). I wonder if anyone has one and what you think of it.


Thanks for any advise!

I have the complete Wolverine system with a woodcraft slow speed grinder and love it. It is easy to set up and use:thumbs_up

I have one and use it with a Delta Slow speed grinder. Works great is quick and sets up in seconds. I use it for m gouges. No down side at all.

Wolverine system plus slow speed grinder, the only way to go. Get 2 Vari-grind jigs - set one up for bowl gouges and the other for spindle gouges.

Since I own one and can use one properly, you know they are simple and easy. :wsmile:

I have the similar jig that Penn State sells. It includes all the attachments that you have to buy separately from Wolverine. I like it very much.

Funny, Oneway recommends that the Wolverine jig be used with a high speed grinder:icon_scra:eusa_thin I use mine on my dual speed Woodcraft grinder (in low speed). It's the best system out there for turning tools, IMO.

Thanks to everyone for helping me make up my mind. Now waiting for the big brown truck.

I don't think you'll regret your choice. Another vote for the Wolverine & Woodcraft slow speed grinder (equipped with Norton 3X wheels in my case).
