Nailing repeat grinds on the Wolverine jig........
It's a little frustrating when you have to test, adjust, retest, and adjust the grinding jigs for your turning tools.
With this little magnet with stick and white piece of paper attached, getting the setting right the first time is a snap!
Position the white paper correctly, so that when you look from the side, you can clearly see the profile of the tool you wish to sharpen, along with the profile of the grinding wheel.......easy to make adjustments from there. It helps to have a light source at the back side of the paper.
The magnet makes attachment, and removal in about two seconds of time!
Wish I'd have thought of this years ago! :mad:

edit: The better your bevel matches the profile of the grinding wheel.......the less grinding you'll need to do, and the longer your tools will last you!
