AX-40 Axe Jig

[Alston]

I'm in need of an Axe jig and to say I was singularly unimpressed with the old version is an understatement. The New Tormek AX-40 though looks very impressive from the videos I've seen. I'll be ordering one soon. Anyone on here used one?

I found that the original one worked acceptably.  It seemed so simple yet worked. 

I have the new one and like it a lot more, but I've not used it extensively.

Like Rich, I have an AX-40. It looks very impressive, although, not having an ax or hatchet, I have not used it yet. It is certainly leagues more advanced than the original jig, which was the longest lasting of the original Tormek jigs.

I would point out that it doesn't work withdouble bit axes or half hatchets (with hammer heads).With these two exceptions, it is a very flexible jig and holds the axes quite securely.
