Tormek SVA-170 Axe Grinding Jig

Tormek SVA-170 Axe Grinding Jig

A relatively simple jig that allows both bevels of an axe head to be ground at exactly the same angle over the full length of the edge (maximum head size 165mm). A nice solution to a problem often encountered when grinding by hand. You can of course, if you choose, have different bevel angles on each side by simply adjusting the height of the support - this is the sort of control that you can only get with a Tormek.

Choose the best sharpening angle for your axe. The edge angle for an all-round axe for sports and leisure use is bigger than for a carving axe. A splitting maul requires an even bigger edge angle.

Carving axes can be sharpened asymmetrically, with a larger bevel on the left-hand side (if you're right-handed). That will make the axe cut more easily because the cutting force is closer to the direction of cutting.

Features:
Allows both axe bevels to be ground at exactly the same angle
Adjustable height for different angles if required
Make your axes razor-sharp with an edge that lasts longer.
Easy and precise sharpening.
Works with most types of axes.

Works with both Tormek T-4 and Tormek T-8, as well as older models.
