The Tormek Multi Jig is appropriately named because it offers the ability to sharpen skews, rouging gouges, straight carving gouges and parting tools. If you're a turner, this kit is a must. This jig is offered in the Tormek Woodturners Kit.
The SVS50 Multi Jig is usually used in conjunction with the TTS100 Turning Tool Setter to ensure the most accurate set up possible.
The Multi Jig Design
This patented jig consists of a housing (1) and two interchangeable seats – one closed, (2) and one open, (3). The seats can swivel and be locked with the screw (6) at any skew angle between 0° and 45°. Skew chisels have symmetrical bevels on both sides. With this jig you mount the tool only once for grinding both the bevels. By turning the jig upside down you can grind both of the bevels symmetrically.
The closed seat is for skew chisels. The tool is fixed with the side screw (4). The top screw (5) is not used.
The open seat is designed for tools which have the edge square across the shank. The tool is fixed with the top screw in the housing (5). As the seat can be turned, it can also be used for short skew chisels.
Q. Is this jig compatible with any model Tormek Sharpener?
A. Yes. This jig will work with both the Tormek T8, the Tormek T4 as well as older models like the T7, T3 and 2000.
