Title: SVD-186R for large bent gouges
Post by: MerryMadMick on May 10, 2024, 03:22:32 AM

Hello,

Is there an optional (wider) tool holder for the SVD-186R? Quite a few of my most used bent gouges are 40mm+ and are too wide for this jig. I did get a decent edge free-handing using the SVD-110, but if I can get the SVD-186R to work it would be more ideal.

Thank you.

Apologies for responding to my own post, but judging by the pictures of the SVD-186R, the tool holder looks removable. Is it? If so, I'm thinking I can 3D print or manufacture a new tool holder to support my larger gouges.

Thanks.

Welcometo the forum, MMM.

I like your 3D printing idea! I think the SVD-186R is one of Tormek's best designed jigs. It works very well or tools within its designated size range.

Please keep us posted about your 3D design.

I'll post images once I get it done.

All the best.
