The 8 Piece Lathe Turning Tool
Sharpening Setup Gauge Kit includes these items:

Stick Out Gauge Block
Everyone needs a gauge block to set the tool projection for gouges
when placing them into a VariGrind 1 or 2 tool holding fixture. I've
had many requests for an easy to use durable version, so this is the
result. I've included two lengths, 2" and 1.75" in one
single unit. Place the Stick Out Gauge against the VariGrind just
under the shaft of your gouge and extend the shaft until it touches
the stop block. Lock the gouge down for a consistent, reliable, and
repeatable setting each and every time. If you choose to order more
than one I am able to offer free USA shipping and give you a lower
price for each one. |

Negative Rake Scraper 3-N-1 Gauge This
NRS Setting Gauge offers quick easy and repeatable included angles
for 75 degrees, 60 degrees and 50 degrees. It seems everyone agrees
that negative rake scrapers are more user friendly, less aggressive,
easier to use, give a better finish and catch far less than
conventional scrapers. NRS are almost universally regarded as
finishing tools to be used for cleaning up bowls, plates and
platters. Some folks use them on spindles as well. I have been using
NRS to true up my Amazing Doughnut Chucks for a couple of years now
and I have not found any other tool which even come close to being
smooth cutting. These gauges make setup extremely fast (average is
under 15 seconds), repeatable and accurate. |

Turning Tool Angle Gauge ABS Unbreakable
Plastic Turning Tool Angle Gauge ABS Unbreakable
Plastic has eight different angles cut out for easy and quick angle
identification. The angles are used for certain turning tools, but
may also be used at your own discretion or preference. This gauge is
the ideal way to measure for consistent eagle grinds on your turning
tools while sharpening. Angles are 30-deg, 37-deg, 40-deg, 45-deg,
50-deg, 55-deg, 60-deg and 82-deg |

Quad-Setting-Jig For Wood Lathe Tools 8
inch Many of you asked about the other side of the
grinder, the platform. You wanted to know if I had something which
would enable the same kind of accuracy in sharpening the “4 Other
Tools”. So, I came up with a jig to use to correctly set the proper
grinding angles for Roughing Gouges at 45 deg, Parting Tools at
30-60 deg, Skews at 21.5-43 deg and Bowl Scrapers at 8 deg. I’ve
named it the “Quad Setting Jig” since one jig sets the correct
angels for all 4 of the other HSS woodturning lathe tools. It is
also available for immediate shipment |

Gouge Setup Blocks are capable of quickly
setting 4 of the most commonly use angles on your Vari-Grind
style jig when sharpening gouges using a 2" or 1 3/4"
projection. .
Standard Grind on Bowl Gouge: The standard grind
is used by most tool manufacturers for bowl gouges regardless of
diameter of the tool. This is a general use type of grind that
is best used on dry wood for both inside and outside of bowls,
plates and platters. This grind is easy to use for most skill
levels.
Short Grind on Bowl Gouge: The short grind is a
special type of grind that is useful for finishing the bottom of
bowls with tall sides, such as calabash or semi-hollow forms.
This type of grind is best used with narrow openings which
prevent using long grinds or standard grinds on the very bottom
of the inside. It is also known as a "Bottom Feed
Grind" by many in the woodturning world.
Long Grind on Bowl: Gouge This is generally the
most useful all around bowl gouge grind and is the preferred
grind for green wood. It is also suitable for dry wood. Very
large cuts in green wood are a breeze with this grind. Excellent
for shear scraping both inside and outside of bowls, plates and
platters. This type of grind is similar to the Ellsworth and the
Irish or Celtic grind.
Fingernail Grind on Spindle Gouge: A spindle
gouge (denoted by it’s much shallower flute) with a fingernail
grind enables a turner to turn beads and coves with much steeper
sides and more pronounced angles between elements in spindle
work. One must maintain a rounded tip while pulling the wings
back. This configuration avoids catching the edge of the wings
when rolling a bead or scooping out a cove.

40 / 40 Grind Setup Block It works with both
VariGrind 1 and VariGrind 2! NOW INCLUDES THE RISER BLOCK. THE
RISER BLOCK ELIMINATES THE NEED TO GRIND THE POCKET ARM Stuart
Batty is an internationally known woodturner who popularized a
bowl gouge grind knows as the 40/40 grind. Stuart teaches this
grind as a platform only grind that does not use jigs or
fixtures other than the platform on a OneWay Wolverine Jig
System. Until now, the only way to achieve a 40/40 grind was by
hand. I have developed a system that uses the OneWay VariGrind 1
tool holding fixture and a setup block to achieve the
traditional 40/40 grind. Results are much more consistent and it
is much easier to grind a single facet. The Nose Angle and the
Wing Angles will be 40 degrees every time just as one would get
with Stuart’s manual grinding method.
