BG-VG Vari-Grind Attachment with Three Angles for Woodturning Chisels.

This a great alternative to the very similar way over priced lathe tool sharpening jigs. Very well made, robust & accurate. Does everything you need at like 1/2 the price. I use it regularly & converted my favorite bowl gouges to an English grind with it. Now I can easily touch up the edges in about 10 seconds and get right back to turning. Also saves tons of steel lost doing it free hand.

Great product. Works as stated.

Got this with the Wen slow speed bench grinder and a CBN wheel. The turning tools sharpen quick and clean now. Setup instructions are clear.

Overall, this is a good product and the price is very reasonable for what you get. Instructions were very clear and well written, so initial set-up was pretty painless. The system is designed for an 8" grinder, but they have the adjustments you will need to make in order to use with a 6" grinder. Only minor thing is that measurements are all listed in metric, so you will need to have a metric ruler or do the conversion. Not really that big of a deal.I've mostly used the vari-grind attachment sharpening bowl gouges and it gives fast, repeatable results. Extremely happy with that aspect of the system. I've also made good use of the platform and it is substantial and solid.Why four stars instead of five? The knob on the vari-grind came off the first couple times I tried to unscrew it. A little loc-tite solved that, but should have been done at the factory. Bigger complaint from me is that the skew attachment is basically unusable. It attaches solidly and you can certainly sharpen a skew chisel with it, but the resulting skew angle is far too steep, IMO. I'm just using the platform for skews. like I did before purchasing the system.Overall, the biggest reason I purchased this product was for bowl gouge sharpening and that works great, so would definitely recommend and buy again just for that use. The platform is larger and more solid than what came with the grinder, so that has also been a big plus.

My neighbor is a world renowned wood turner. He got me interested in turning. He has a very similar system that he swears by, this one works just as well and is far less expensive. This is basically a well built imitation of an overpriced system, they mount and function identically, with similar weight materials.I would recommend this to anyone!

This is my first purchase of a sharpening jig and I'm very pleased. Makes sharpening a breeze especially on bowl gouges. And the price is right compared to others on the market.

Easy install, well built. The skew attachment is a nice touch and works well the long arm and platform base are easily adjustable and solid. Mounted on a Bucktool 8” slow speed grinder. I like it for turning tools more than my Tormek. Tormek works best on knives.

Very much like the Wolverine, but slightly larger shafts so not interchangeable. I just needed the flat stage and it is super.
