SVS-50 vs SVS-32

[mike40]

I recently bought the turning jig kit which included the SVS-50 jig. Can also handle short tools like the SVS-32?

Welcome back, Mike!

Good question. You will probably get a more definitive answer from support (support.tormek.se). I have sent several questions. Stig or one of his associates usually answers quite quickly.

Please post the answer.

Thanks Ken, good to be back. My question is redundant now because I went ahead and ordered the SVS-32 anyway as it is fairly cheap. BTW, I tried that Tormek.se search, but didn't come up with anything. Could you be so kind to provide me with the link just for future reference?

I didn't reply at first, because I read it two ways (don't read when sleepy).

In that video they show a fairly short bladed gouge, but it is wider.  I think the SVS32 is more for both short and narrow tools compared to the 50.

I'm Mike,

I am laughing.....Sometimes the best way to learn is just to buy the thing and try it!

The semi-senile imp in me would like to put something useless in my toolbox with no explanation. It should puzzle my heirs and, maybe, one of them might find a use for it.

I got my SVS-32 today. It looks pretty useful and it can handle pretty wide chisels, it is also pretty simple so I will probably use it quite a lot as I don't have any carving chisels over 3.2cm wide. That way I don't have to be constantly changing the configuration of my SVS-50. In times past I tried to stop buying unessential tools, but I now realize that the idea is a lost cause. Instead I've re-channeled my thoughts towards finding new reasons to keep purchasing them!
