Title: Honing gouges
Post by: WynnD on February 11, 2009, 06:19:30 PM
I have an older Tormek. the new video shows using the 185 to hone an Ellsworth type grind. I find that the 185 runs into the leg of the support bar when I attempt to hone the gouge. Is there a mod to the support bar or 185 that will allow the gouge to lay over  ????

Unfortunately the extreme angle of the jig prevents its use when honing at this setting.  Personally, I freehand the honing of my gouges most of the time, even when the setting of the jig would allow its use.
