Grinder angle guide
« on: October 01, 2023, 06:00:56 PM »
Just wondering if there is anything available in the UK like Stuart Batty's guide.  I have a almost new Record Power 8" grinder but find consistency of bevel hard to achieve. Any advice would be appreciated.

I read somewhere this Tormek Angle jig can be used with other grinders?

I'm just in the process of producing some gauges for setting grinding angles. They should be available soon!

If you have access to a 3D printer there are lots of free angle setup jigs available from the free online 3D printer sites such as https://www.thingiverse.com/

Do you mean something like these platform setting jigs?

Expensive but it's not difficult to make these without a 3D printer
