Good morning. Thanks for the add. I've searched through the forum to see if I can find the answers to the this but want to ask the forum a bit of advice if possible.
I'm in to green woodworking. Mainly bowls, spoons, cups etc. I'd really like something that will quicken up the process of sharpening/honing my hand gouges, and provide a more consistent edge than doing this by hand. Also to sharpen my carving axe and sloyd knifes.
Anyway, I've stumbled upon a sg2004 that is in budget (although I'd need the some jigs etc). I assume its quite old but seems to be in working order. Problem being it has a chip to the wheel that would need some fixing by the looks of it. Is the below worth the hassle or is it going to be too much work to sort? Could I just chamfer the edge of the wheel so things don't catch or does it need properly flattening down past the chip?
Also, will the gouge jig and honing wheels attach to this without issue?
Many thanks
