Shaping and Sharpening Turning Gouges
You can do the initial shaping either directly on the Tormek machine or on your bench grind-
er using the Tormek Bench Grinder Mounting Set BGM-100. When you need to remove a lot
of steel, e.g. when decreasing the edge angle or changing the shape, you can use a bench
grinder which removes steel faster. For best result, use the Gouge Jig SVD-186 R together
with the Tormek Turning Tool Setter TTS-100. It enables you to exactly create and replicate
the edge on your bowl and spindle gouges. Once you have created the shape of the edge,
it is an easy task to quickly re-sharpen the tool. The sharpening should be done on your
Tormek machine for the best finish and to ensure that the edge is not overheated.
These three factors determine the geometry of a gouge
Jig setting, JS.
With the Turning Tool Setter TTS-100 shown
above you control these factors. Note the
settings on the Profile Label and put it on
the ferrule. After the initial shaping you can
exactly replicate your favourite shape at
every sharpening in less that a minute.
Honing
Honing and polishing the bevel and the flute to a finer finish will make the sharpness more
durable.

Sharpen with a light pressure
and swing the tool from side to
side. Since the shape is exactly
replicated and the edge is just
touched up, the sharpening
takes just 20–30 seconds.
