Thread: slow speed bench grinder

A quick happy snap of the finished setup......

A piece of reclaimed kitchen benchtop from the local timber yard, a little spotted gum edging just for the hell of it, Tru-Grind mounted under the finer alox wheel and my Veritas grinder jig set up on the coarser wheel.

So far I've tried the Tru-Grind on a bowl gouge, spindle gouge, parting tool and roughing gouge with excellent results. The finer alox wheel on this slow speed grinder is plenty aggressive enough, but leaves a good surface finish.

Only tool I'm not convinced about on the Tru-Grind is my skew chisel - tricky getting the bevel angles the way I'd like them. Might have to try the Veritas instead I think.

AFAIK there is a Veritas add-on for skews. Click

But that's all over the top.

A cheap Chinese platform x 2 (for the mitre gauges) or a Sabre from Carrolls would do the job.
