    Hi gaia...I'm not sure about 'off the shelf' jigs for this wet grinder but you can easily make your own...However, if it's for carving chisels, I would do them by eye/hand. With a little practice you'll have no problems..(those cheapy chisels you see around are good to practice on).
    Also..these cheaper wet grinding wheels often don't run true (I've got a couple, 1 in the shed and 1 at home) and have had to get the wobble out of both..
    The only addition I've made to mine is a tube and a plastic bottle on the drain that I alternate between above the grinder (to fill the reservoir) and below (to drain)

    what if the hokey pokey is really what it's all about?
