Use provided fastener (5/32” hex key) to Position B secure bar and create a Position A 90° Tool Bar. 2 Secure Bracket onto 2 Tool Bar the Work Sharp 3000: Securing knob A Insert the bracket fasteners (1/4” 20 Nuts) into provided T-Slots of the back of the WS3000 as shown. B Slide bracket up and into the T-Slots from the bottom until bracket stops. Tighten the two fasteners to hold bracket in place with a 5/32” hex key. 3 Insert Tool Bar into bracket as shown. 3,4 4 Square the Tool Bar to the wheel. Move the micro adjust nut to the top of the rod and place the Tool Bar onto the wheel and tighten the Tool Bar knob. Loosen the two bracket fasteners and adjust the bracket until the bar is flat on the wheel. Then re-tighten the bracket. Jack screw on the bottom of the bracket can be used to micro adjust the bracket position. (2) Abrasives This kit contains a premium coarse P80 ceramic oxide abrasive from Norton. 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. (4) Set Up Fixture TSO B B H3 The Set Up Fixture helps set your STICKOUT TOOL H2 Tool Stick Out (TSO) and bar Height H1 2 3 1 (H). These two settings determine TOOL STICKOUT A the angle sharpened onto the tool. TSO A Setting the Tool Stick Out (TSO) There are two TSO settings (A and B). Reference the specific tool sharpening chart in this guide to determine which jig is needed, and which angle you desire. TSO B The chart will determine the TSO setting you will need to use. TSO A Setting the Tool Bar Height (H) There are three height (H) settings for sharpening your tools. When referencing the sharpening charts in this guide (Page 10, 15), the bar height is not limited to those heights and can be adjusted to any height needed. To create a standard, repeatable angle, reference the tool sharpening charts Tip: Tool Bar Height can also be H1 H3 set by placing the tool into the appropriate jig and adjusting the tool bar height until the tool bevel lays flat on the abrasive wheel. (5) Freehand Topside 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. Edge-Vision® Slotted Wheel (7) Data Chart Use this data chart to record your sharpening set ups on various tools to increase repeatability and reduce your set up time. TSO H TBP: (A or B) Tool Name Tool Stick Out Height Tool Bar Position Notes 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. H• Smoothly work the tool back and forth on the abrasive Tip: Move the tool from one side to the other on the disk until a burr is raised. tool rest in a smooth, steady motion. This will create a consistent cutting edge. Avoid starting the Option: Use a burnishing rod to increase the burr at the grinding in the center of the tool. Start at one side cutting edge. and smoothly move the tool to the other side. Check edge for grind pattern and sharpness progress after every other pass. CAUTION - Due to the rotation of the wheel, the tool may want to push into or away from the tool rest. Use a firm grip. (9) Short Tool Rest Jig Tormek® SVS-32 Tip: Reference Tormek® instructions for more detail on jig set up and use. This jig is best used for quick and precise sharpenings of short lathe turning tools and curved or vee shaped carving tools. A Place the tool to be sharpened into the jig and clamp tight. B Set the tool bar to your desired orientation to the grinding wheel. C Adjust the tool bar Height using the Micro-Adjust knob so the bevel angle on the tool lays flat on the grinding wheel. Tighten the Tool Bar knob. D Saddle the jig onto the Tool Bar. E Start on one side and roll the tool and jig back and forth to sharpen or hone. Option: Scribe or mark a line onto your tool to identify the Tool Stick Out and record the Height setting for repeatable future sharpenings. Tip: Move the tool from one side to the other on the tool rest in a smooth, steady motion. This will create a consistent cutting edge. Avoid starting the grinding in the center of the tool. Start at one side and smoothly move the tool to the other side. Check edge for grind pattern and sharpness progress after every other pass.
