Title: Sharpening rounded finger planes (luthiers)
Post by: bulerias1981 on December 18, 2008, 05:27:53 PM
Ok.. So here is my major contribution to the forum.

Violin-makers and other instrument makers have very unique tools, and are used to making and modifying their tools for specific and unique jobs. As far as I know, there aren't any jigs ideal for small finger planes, from 1" in length, to 1-1/2".

This is how I figured out how to sharpen my finger plane blades (rounded) on my Tormek..

Its basically a small C-clamp torqued on very tight. Its rounded so you can turn it to accomomdate the shape of the edge of a rounded plane blade. It works really well and I great a great edge.
