Reference the specific tool sharpening chart in this guide to determine which jig is needed, and which angle you desire. The chart will determine the TSO setting you will need to use. TSO B TOOL STICKOUT The Set Up Fixture helps set your Tool Stick Out (TSO) and bar Height (H). These two settings determine the angle sharpened onto the tool.
(5) Freehand Topside The tool bar can be placed at various positions and heights for topside freehand sharpening. A Set the tool bar to desired height and orientation to the grinding wheel. B Set the tool stick out on tool rest so the bevel angle matches that of your tool. When holding the tool, your hand (fingers) can be used to create a tool stop against the tool bar while sharpening.
(7) Data Chart Use this data chart to record your sharpening set ups on various tools to increase repeatability and reduce your set up time. Tool Name TSO Tool Stick Out H Height TBP: (A or B) Tool Bar Position Notes Tip: Use a Black Marker when re-sharpening an existing angle onto a tool. Color the bevel to be sharpened then set up the tool (with or without jig) and Tool Bar so the bevel lays flat on the abrasive wheel. Turn the wheel by hand one half revolution.

Or set the TSO and H to match the existing angle. Record on the Data Chart in section 7. Technique: Roll the tool from one side to the other on the Tool Bar in a smooth, steady motion. This will create a consistent grind pattern and provide the sharpest, most consistent cutting edge.
(12) Multi Jig Tormek® SVS-50 with Parting Tool Parting Tool Use Vee Plate fixture when sharpening Parting Tools See Parting Tools Set Up Chart (Section 10) for preset grind angles. Or set the TSO and H to match the existing angle. Record on the Data Chart in section 7. Technique: Set the edge of the Parting Tool flush onto the grinding wheel. Hold firm to avoid movement. Lift tool every few seconds and allow metal to cool before reapplying.
(13) Multi Jig Tormek® SVS-50 with Skew Chisel Skew Chisel Use Skew Tool fixture when sharpening Skew Chisel See Skew Chisel Set Up Chart (Section 10) for preset grind angles.

Use chart in section 7.
(16) Gouge Jig Tormek® SVS-185 Technique Technique: When sharpening a tool with swept back sides, do not over grind the center of the tool. Spend most of the grind time on the sides/wings of the tool to create the proper shape. Over grinding the tip or center of the tool will not create the proper ‘swept back side’ geometry. Move smoothly and swiftly from side to side for best surface finish and result. Abrasive Selection: Use the P80 grit for fast and cool grinding.
