sharpening jig
Has anyone here ever used this type of jig with your grinder? If so, with what degree of success? Thanks as always.

Not that model but a similar one and I find there is some flexability in the arms and the locking levers can not be tightend enough to hold securely when applying pressure to grind.
Perhaps this model is better than the one I haveDon't force it, use a bigger hammer.
Timber is what you use. Wood is what you burn.

Looks to be the one made by Veristas, then yes it's a good un, in fact I've been trying to get one from the local Carbatec store for a while now with a few different attachments to go with it but they never have them in stock

I have one and like it for the grinding I do. I do not do really heavy grinding, just reforming an edge on cutting tools so little pressure is applied. For this purpose the Veritas unit works well and is quite adaptable. I have a thread here showing my setup.

nice setup groggy
I'm not sure I understand the attachment on top of the jig?

The attachment on top of the jig is a sliding holder for chisels and blades. It comes with the rest and slides along the rectangular recess in the rest.

I had one similar but couldnt tighten it enough to keep the height and angle settings from moving.
Nice idea but just didnt work properly.

I have the Veritas - really good gear - have not had any slipping type problems, it stays where I put it.

Just a thought for those experiencing slippage problems what about a "star" washer [one of those with raised sections] where the handles [don't] lock the arms. Granted it will mark the arms but should provide a more positive lock and make the tool more usable.

Thanks for input
Thanks so much to all for your input. I went down to the local Woodcraft store and the let the salesman take me a totally different direction. He convinced me to go with the Oneway Wolvering jig. He recommended it due to my lack of experience. I appreciate everyone for sharing their thoughts on the Veritas.

If the Veritas grinding rest is slipping you are probably applying to much pressure.
