Hi Tony and thank you for the great idea . I was using my lathe last weekend and needed to sharpen my gouges so I turned to my 10” disc sander with a 180 grit disc on it . It worked great , but like you said in your blog , multiple sharpenings free hand don’t produce the same results as having a set up like yours and you can waste a lot of precious metal and time . Happy New Year Tony !

Nice. I have been toying with the notion of a similar bar and jig approach to sharpen on my low speed grinder.

I used to use my Tormek for doing this, but when you change the profile, or even the initial grinding of the Turning tools, it takes its toll on the grinding wheel, the grinding wheels do not last long, cost a fortune to replace and take an age to remove so much metal.
