Ellsworth Style Bowl Gouge Grinding Jig for Woodturning

thingiverse

This is a simple Ellsworth style grinding jig I made to fit a Hurricane 5/8" bowl gouge. Just add a threaded rod/cut bolt and a thumb screw. I have a bunch of them. I was so glad to print since that allows you to make a round hole with a flat top that keeps the gouge from rotating. If you make this by hand with wood or aluminum, the gouge can rotate in the hole, which makes you grind more metal each time if the angle isn't perfectly matched each time you go to sharpen. this jig has helped me stretch my gouges out a lot longer! See my work at www.wildtypewoodoworks.com I had a problem where my print service made it too small when scaling it into their printer. so I just redrew it with a larger hole. Ill post that as a separate item.
