I have used a Tormek for restoring and sharpening old planes and chisels for several years.   I am now learning how to sharpen turning tools on it.  On page 62 of the instructions for the SVD-185, it suggests documenting on short strips of paper attached to the tool the three numbers needed to maintain exactly the same shape.

The angle – a=

The jig setting – JS =

The protrusion – P =

I understand the concept, and the details, but am wondering if anyone has already written down what those numbers are for the Sorby turning tools.  It would certainly save me, and anyone else, a boatload of time and mistakes if I can find such.

Any ideas?  Who should I contact?  Etc.?

Thanks

Is there anyone in the Omaha area who can sharpen auger blades? When we use to go to Minnesota, you could find places to trade you old ones plus $10 and get a nice used sharp set. I have three duller like this https://under-the-open-sky.com/best-ice-augers than dull on dulls dullest day sets, and would like them sharp.
