Gouge Jig

The SVD-186 R Gouge Jig is the ultimate tool for woodturners, providing exact repeatability for both shape and sharpening angle. This ensures your tools behave predictably at the lathe every time they are sharpened. It allows sharpening with the edge in the same direction as the grinding wheel rotation when the universal support is in the horizontal position. If you have a pre-2001 machine, fitting an XB-100 Horizontal Base enables edge trailing sharpening.
