Whetstone Sharpening Jig Base

thingiverse

This is an alternate set of bases for my original Chisel Sharpening Jig (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4644870) Base 2 will suit a stone that is 180mm x 60mm x 30mm Base 3 will suit a stone that is 150mm x 50mm x 25mm. You can use the reservoir at the end to hold a wet sponge or pad to wipe the stone during sharpening. Standard sharpening jigs travel on the surface of the stone. This can mar the surface of the stone resulting in having to true the stone more often and aggressively. The benefit of this jig is that the carriage rides on rails rather than the stone which in turn will extend the life of your stone and improve the quality of your grind.
