If you use a OneWay Wolverine Varigrind 1 tool holding fixture to sharpen your lathe tools, wouldn't it be wonderful if, you could pick up any HSS lathe gouge you own and reproduce that grind exactly every time? Well now you can and it is easy with the Universal Setting Jig for Lathe Tool Sharpening from Ron Brown's Best. The universal setting jig does it all. You can reproduce any grind you currently have and love and want to keep. This offer includes the Universal Setting Jig only and does not include any sharpening system or lathe tool, colors may vary. First, set up your sharpening jig for the grind you want in the usual way. Then, place the Universal Setting Jig with its base in the V-pocket and adjust the pointer so it makes two firm points of contact against the grinding wheel. Tighten the knob and read the linear scale. I record that number with a sharpie on the tool handle. I also observe which notch the leg is aligned with. My recordings usually look something like 4.3, 5. That means for me to set the Universal Setting Gauge pointer to 4.3 and set the leg in the 5th notch down from the top. I adjust the V-pocket arm to the proper distance, insert the gouge into the gouge holding fixture and I am able to reproduce that grind accurately every time.
