    Default Sharpening Jigs

    I was asked if Unijig or Heli-grind are still available. Googled both and could not find and current links.
    Can anyone help with up-to-date contacts or resellers?
    Thanks CV Turner

    Both of those jigs no longer available.

    The only one that does the same is the Woodcut tru grind

    The McNaughton Multi Grind System is still available from Mike Jeffries at www.woodworks.com.au Its similar to the Oneway jig (Canadian lathe mob) which I find is more robust and versatile.

    I suspect this was part of their demise
