This novel table has been specifically designed as
an aid to sharpening woodworking tools which should
not be taken to the bench grinder. The short coming
of a bench grinder is that it produces a hollow grind
- feature which should be avoided with those tools
which require an even contact like a turner's skew
chisel and plane irons.
The Multi Purpose Sharpening
Table from Robert Sorby should be used on a lathe
in conjunction with the Honing Kit (Ref 470). The
design incorporates a cross guide at pre-set angles
- 15° for skew chisels, 20° for bevel edge
chisels, 25° for firmer chisels, 30° for registered
chisels and the secondary bevel on both firmer and
bevel edge chisels when working with harder woods.
Full sharpening instructions are included.
One of the most difficult tasks for the turner is
resharpening HSS tool tips. Fingers can be injured
or excessive steel removed. When this table is used
with the Honing kit, those difficulties are immediately
eliminated. The table provides 80° and 90°
angles. This is an indispensible accessory for keeping
those tools in tiptop condition. The Multi Purpose
Sharpening Table also doubles as a sanding table.
The 45° is ideal for sanding mitres. Available
in 1/2",5/8",3/4",1",11/8",
25mm and 30mm diameter stems (state stem size required).
