    Default Sharpening turning tools

    Hi all wetstone grinder owners

    Just wanted to get an understanding of tormek turning accessories with scheppach wetstone grinders. I have a scheppach tiger 2500 and am really happy with it. Wanted to know if anyone has purchased tormek accessories for their non tormek grinder and if they are

    1. Superior build quality compared to scheppach turner jigs? In terms of better steel used and functionality (getting tools square in jig)

    2. Price justified (found it ranging from $320-410)

    3. Fully compatible? Any modifications needed to get it to work with scheppach the gouge leather honing wheel axel diameter springs to mind

    4. Angle setting jig? I find the scheppach one a pain when also trying keep the tool square in clamp

    Thanks for any info you guys may have on this. Really happy with the scheppach so far and seems like it will make it even better sharpening system for my turning tools.

    Cheers

    If you like and can wait a fortnight, I will bring the Tormek jigs up to Canberra with me and we can have a play at your place, then you can judge for yourself.

    No experience with the Sheppach, but I do use the Tormek jigs on a std grinder with the Tormek BGM 100 mount with no issues. Also swap the Tormek & Heligrind jigs across both the Tormek & Heligrind mounts.
