This should be used to shape and sharpen tools. It is a very fast, yet cool, cutting abrasive and will shape or sharpen a tool very quickly. Once your tools are shaped to your desired geometry, your standard Work Sharp 3000 abrasive kit (P120, P400, P1000, 3600) will keep them sharp. Abrasive Kit contains: The Tool Bar has two primary positions P120 Grit: Intended for roughing, shaping and sharpening. (A and B) but is infinitely adjustable to P400 Grit: Intended for sharpening and edge refinement. meet your specific tool sharpening P1000 Grit: Intended for sharpening and edge refinement. needs. 3600 Grit: Intended for honing and polishing. Reference the Cast Line in the vertical (3) Tips and Techniques rod to set A or B position. Heat Control: Position A Be aware of your tool’s temperature to avoid burning the steel. Monitor the tool’s heat with your fingers. 150° is too hot to touch. Steel is not affected until 400°. If a tool becomes too hot, allow it to air cool or place it in a cup of water. Changing the grinding point on the wheel can help control heat. The wheel speed at the outer edge is faster (hotter) than the center of the wheel (cooler).
Micro Adjust: Position B Cast Line You can micro adjust your height setting to acheive nearly any specific angle you desire (One full revolution is equivalent to .080 inches or +/- 2.5° at bevel angle). This makes it faster and easier to match the existing angle already sharpened onto your tool. This micro adjust nut will also hold the height (H) setting for you if you need to loosen the tool bar securing knob to swing the tool rest out of the way.

The tool bar can be placed at various positions and heights for topside freehand sharpening. A Set the tool bar to desired height and orientation to the grinding wheel. B Set the tool stick out on tool rest so the bevel angle matches that of your tool. When holding the tool, your hand (fingers) can be used to create a tool stop against the tool bar while sharpening. Tip: You can also scribe or mark a line onto your tool to identify the Tool Stick Out and record the Height setting for repeatable future sharpenings. (6) Freehand Underside The Tool Bar can be placed under the grinding wheel on the back side of the machine. This provides a stable tool rest for improved precision. When sharpening curved tools, use the Edge-Vision® slotted wheel see through wheel and abrasives.

Tip: Use a Black Marker when re-sharpening an existing angle onto a tool. Color the bevel to be sharpened then set up the tool (with or without jig) and Tool Bar so the bevel lays flat on the abrasive wheel. Turn the wheel by hand one half revolution. If black marker is removed at the heel of the bevel, use Micro-Adjust Knob to raise the Tool Bar. If black marker is evenly removed, your set up is perfect. If marker is removed only at the cutting edge, use Micro-Adjust Nut to lower the Tool Bar. Repeat until desired grind pattern and Tool Bar Height is achieved. (8) Tool Rest Jig Tormek® SVD-100 Tip: Reference Tormek® instructions for more detail on jig set up and use. Sharpening Scrapers: A• Mount tool bar in either ‘A’ or ‘B’ position. Position A - best for angles less than 70° Position B - best for angles between 70° and 90° B• Mount and clamp the Tool Rest onto the Tool Bar. C• Set the bar height (H) so tool rest is ¼” above the wheel. D• Place your scraper firmly onto the tool rest so the tip is on the abrasive disk. E• Adjust the Tool Rest angle so the scraper bevel is flat on the abrasive. F• Tighten the Tool Rest Knob to secure the chosen angle. Or set the angle desired for your scraper by using a protractor to measure the angle between the abrasive and Tool Rest. G• Use the coarse P80 grit abrasive for the fastest results and best burr formation.

Parting Tool
Use Vee Plate fixture when sharpening Parting Tools See Parting Tools Set Up Chart (Section 10) for preset grind angles. Or set the TSO and H to match the existing angle. Record on the Data Chart in section 7.
Technique: Set the edge of the Parting Tool flush onto the grinding wheel. Hold firm to avoid movement. Lift tool every few seconds and allow metal to cool before reapplying. Once fully sharpened, flip the tool over and sharpen the other edge. (13) Multi Jig Tormek® SVS-50 with Skew Chisel
Skew Chisel
Use Skew Tool fixture when sharpening Skew Chisel See Skew Chisel Set Up Chart (Section 10) for preset grind angles. Or set the TSO and H to match the existing angle. Record on the Data Chart in section 7.
Technique: Sharpen each bevel equally for best results and a centered cutting edge. Maintain firm downward pressure on the tool to prevent the tool from moving during sharpening. Sharpening one bevel into the wheel and the other bevel away from the wheel does not impact the sharpness or performance of the tool. This method is safe and creates a very sharp skew chisel. (14) Gouge Jig Tormek® SVS-185 Settings Tip: Reference Tormek® instructions for more detail on jig set up and use. The Tormek® SVS-185 Gouge Jig is used to sharpen bowl gouges of various sizes and profiles. This jig can be used in 6 different Jig Settings (JS) to create JS 0 a wide range of cutting edge profiles. See chart below for JS reference. This jig comes complete from Tormek® with instructions, hex key for adjustments, and labels so you can document your set up for specific tools. See Gouge Jig Tips on page 17
JS 6
This chart shows how changing the JS angle of the Gouge Jig will change the grind profile. Setting JS 0 provides little sweep back of the cutting edge. To create a fingernail or Ellsworth type JS 0 JS 1 JS 2 JS 3 JS 4 JS 5 JS 6 grind, use JS 6. (15) Gouge Jig Tormek® SVS-185 Settings
Gouge Jig Settings: Gouges come in all shapes, types and grind profiles. The chart below will help you create some of the more common grinds, but you will need to make adjustments for your specific sharpening needs. Any desired grind angle and shape can be acheived by adjusting the TSO, JS and H settings. Record all settings when creating a custom grind profile for repeatable and consistent results.

Technique: When sharpening a tool with swept back sides, do not over grind the center of the tool. Spend most of the grind time on the sides/wings of the tool to create the proper shape. Over grinding the tip or center of the tool will not create the proper ‘swept back side’ geometry. Move smoothly and swiftly from side to side for best surface finish and result.
Abrasive Selection: Use the P80 grit for fast and cool grinding. This will quickly establish a smooth surface finish and a burr. A burr will form on your tool even though you may not be grinding the tool perpendicular to the abrasive like on a vertical grinder. If you choose, you can progress to finer grit abrasives for a more refined surface finish. (17) Gouge Jig Tormek® SVS-185 Tips
