Why Choose the SE-77 Square Edge Jig?

The SE-77 Square Edge Jig simplifies the process of sharpening plane irons and chisels, making them sharper than new. Its design ensures precision and flexibility, catering to both straight and slightly rounded edge sharpening needs.

Benefits:

• Sharper Tools: Achieve a superior sharpness for plane irons and chisels.
• Ease of Use: Simple setup and operation.
• Fine Tuning: Micro adjust screws allow for precise adjustments to compensate for tool deviations.
• Prevent Scratches: Ability to round off corners to avoid scratching timber during planing.

Mounts Firmly and Sharpens Safely

The SE-77 Square Edge Jig aligns the tool along its flat top surface, making it easy to mount correctly at a 90° angle. The flat shoulder ensures the tool is positioned firmly without excessive force. Once the tool is mounted, you simply need to check the sharpening angle, set the jig at the correct height on the universal support, and begin sharpening.

Micro Adjust Screws for Maximum Precision

Equipped with a movable end and two small adjustment screws, the SE-77 allows for fine tuning the settings. This is particularly useful for very narrow tools, tools that are not perfectly parallel to the grinding wheel, or slightly twisted blades. Adjusting the settings is quick and easy—release one adjustment screw and tighten the other to achieve the desired precision.

Sharpening Conical Chisels

The jig accommodates conical tools that are thicker towards the handle, such as some Japanese chisels. Safety stops keep the jig on the universal support bar, preventing the tool from slipping off the grinding wheel and ensuring safe sharpening.

Sharpen Plane Irons with Rounded Edges

For plane irons that benefit from a slightly rounded shape, the SE-77's adjustable end allows you to achieve the optimal shape. To chamfer the edges, center the tool below the pivot point marked on the jig. The degree of chamfering can be increased by releasing the adjustment knobs to allow for greater pendulum movement.

The SE-77 Square Edge Jig is an essential tool for anyone looking to achieve precise, repeatable sharpening results for chisels and plane irons.
