Bench grinder Mounting Set By Tormek
The BGM-100 Bench Grinder Mounting Set allows you to use Tormek’s woodturning tool jigs on your bench grinder. This is particularly useful when you need to remove a significant amount of steel on a new tool to achieve your desired shape. However, be cautious not to overheat the steel, as this can cause the tool to lose its temper.
Included with the BGM-100 Bench Grinder Mounting Set:
- Height adjustable block
- Hardware
- Universal Support
- Horizontal Base
- Comprehensive instructions
Mount the set on either side of the grinder for optimal use.
Key Benefits
- Quick Reshaping: Easily reshape the tool profile on your bench grinder.
- Jig Compatibility: Use the SVD-186 R Gouge Jig, SVS-50 Multi Jig, SVD-110 Tool Rest, and TTS-100 Turning Tool Setter on your bench grinder.
- Consistent Results: Maintain the same jig settings when moving from reshaping on the bench grinder to sharpening on the Tormek.
- User-Friendly: Simple to use with most standard bench grinders equipped with the correct grinding wheel.
Take Control of Your Profiles
Sharpening woodturning tools accurately involves repeating the shape and sharpening angle. The BGM-100 Bench Grinder Mounting Set allows you to use Tormek’s precise jigs, ensuring consistency and precision. Whether reshaping on a bench grinder or sharpening on the Tormek, you can maintain the same settings, making the process efficient and reliable.
Integration with Tormek Systems
The Tormek water-cooled sharpening system excels in sharpening a wide range of tools. While major reshaping is faster on a bench grinder, the BGM-100 allows you to combine the speed of the bench grinder with the precision of Tormek’s jigs. Use the BGM-100 for initial reshaping, then switch to your Tormek machine for final sharpening and honing without changing the jig settings.
For Tormek and Non-Tormek Users
If you don't have a Tormek machine yet, the BGM-100 still offers the benefits of Tormek’s precise jig system on your bench grinder. Achieve the desired shape and angle with ease, and if you later add a Tormek machine to your workshop, you'll already have the jigs you need for your woodturning tools.
