SVS-50 Multi Jig for woodturning chisels
The closed seat allows you to sharpen the vast majority of skew chisels with precision, regardless of whether they have a rectangular or rounded blade and a straight or rounded edge. The tool is mounted vertically in the center of the jig, so you only need to mount the tool once to sharpen two sides. When you’ve finished one side, turn the jig upside down and then grind the tool to a symmetrical shape.
You can also sharpen chisels with oval cross-sections thanks to a unique and patented design, as well as your chisels with rectangular blades. The jig straightens the chisel so that it’s parallel to the universal support, allowing you to sharpen both straight and rounded edges. Maximum woodturning chisel width is 32 mm (1.3″).
SVS-50 Multi Jig for roughing gouges, parting tools and wide carving gouges
The open seat, where the tool is mounted with the top screw, is best used for tools with an edge across the longitudinal direction. It’s also ideal for sharpening woodturning parting tools, roughing gouges and wide carving gouges. Both the open and closed seat are mounted using a bottom screw, which also locks it at the selected angle.
Sharpening woodturning tools – the simplest setting
When sharpening woodturning tools, we strongly recommend using the SVS-50 Multi Jig together with the TTS-100 Turning Tool Setter. Doing this allows you to easily and accurately repeat the shape and angle over and over again. You’ll save time and increase the lifespan of your tools, as you only remove a minimum amount of steel every time you sharpen them.
Water-cooled sharpening on a Tormek gives you a very sharp edge that also lasts longer. A really sharp chisel cuts easily and gives the wood a very smooth finish. Often you don’t need to sand it afterwards.
Re-shape your tools with the SVS-50 Multi Jig
Do you have a new woodturning tool and need to remove a lot of steel to change its profile? The BGM-100 Bench Grinder Mounting Set will allow you to use the SVS-50 Multi Jig on a bench grinder too. But you have to be careful not to overheat the edge here. When you’ve completed the initial rough sharpening on the bench grinder, you then switch to the Tormek machine and give the edge its final sharpness.

Instructions for the SVS-50 Multi Jig
More Information
It is not without reason this jig is named “Multi Jig”. It consists of a housing and two interchangeable seats for different types of tools, the open seat and the closed seat, which really makes it two jigs in one. With SVS-50 you can sharpen square and skew turning chisels with straight or curved edges as well as parting tools, roughing gouges and gouges and chisels for woodcarving.
The open seat
For roughing gouges, parting tools and wide carving gouges. The open seat, where the tool is fixed with a top screw, is used for tools which have the edge ground square across the shank, such as parting and beading tools, roughing gouges and wide carving gouges up to 50 mm (2″) wide. The seats are mounted with a bottom screw, which also enable you to choose the skew angle.
The closed seat
For square and skew chisels. The closed seat has been developed for the precision sharpening of square and skew chisels for wood turning and woodcarving. Since the chisel is mounted in the centre of the seat, you only need to mount the tool once for grinding both bevels. When one side is ready, you simply turn the jig upside down and sharpen the other side until they are symmetrical. Thanks to a unique and patented design, the jig also copes with oval section skews. The jig aligns the skew so that it is parallel with the universal support and you can sharpen both straight and curved edges. Max width of skews 32 mm (1¼”).
