As with all tools turning is much easier when tools are sharp. Learning to sharpen is as critical as learning turning techniques.
Even those that use throwaway materials will always only feel half the way there when they compare themselves to those experienced in sharpening.
The Universal Sharpening System is a simple jig which is to be used in conjunction with a conventional bench grinder to sharpen an array of tools without the need for complex adjustments. The system itself comes in three formats – a fingernail profiler (ref. 445) for turning gouges, an adjustable platform (ref. 446) for other turning chisels, bench chisels, and plane irons and a deluxe combination of the two (ref. 447).
