Aluminium oxide grinding wheels are the woodworker’s choice for bench grinding wheels as they provide a cool yet maximum cutting rate on hardened tool and high-speed steel commonly found in woodworking tools.

The grit refers to the density of the crystalline structure of the plate – the higher the density the slower the material stock removal – therefore acting as a “finer grit” but this also can lead to increased heat build-up with the chance of changing the structure of the cutting edge or “burning” the edge.

We generally recommend a 46 or 60 “Grit” wheel for most woodworking applications.

We have sold the Abrasiflex grinding wheels for more than 20 years now because –

·      The white aluminum oxide is held in a premium vitrified bond

·      Each wheel contains nested bushings to accommodate a wide variety of standard arbor sizes

·      The performance of Abrasiflex wheels is on par with other brands but offers great value-for-money

A simple method of dressing grinder wheels – the coarse grit is harder than aluminium oxide and will slowly but effectively true up the plate and expose new a cutting face on bench grinder wheels.

·      Large 152 x 85mm working surface

·      Maximum height of table when positioned flat is 150mm

·      Includes mitre guide to use as a guide when sharpening square edges blades

·      Spring loaded clamping handles lock the table in place securely and stay out of the way

·      Creates a hollow ground bevel which, when honed, creates a razor sharp edge

PLEASE NOTE – new tool rest will be available in black when back in stock in mid-July.

This grinder is purpose-built to sharpen jointer and planer blades up to 24in long. It works by running the 6in aluminium oxide wheel horizontally with a 375W (1/2HP) motor running at 2800RPM, and the blade carriage passing across the face of the stone.

The carriage is adjustable to suit all bevel angles for machine blades. Remove the carriage and use the included small tool jig for grinding planer blade and cabinet chisels, or attach the drill bit sharpening attachments to touch up your twist drills.

Solid cast-iron body construction with included cast-iron base for extra stability when in use. This unique machine will quickly save time and hassle by moving your sharpening service in-house.

Skews are among the trickiest tools to use in turning without causing digs.

To prevent digs, this jig allows you to grind a slight radius rather than a straight 20° skew. It can be used on just about any grinder; all you need to do is drill a 6.4mm (1/4in) hole in the tool rest (if required) to hold the base pin.

The radius of the grind is determined by the amount the skew projects from the jig. After grinding one side, you flip the skew to the other side of the jig and repeat.

The skew is clamped in position, which leaves both hands free to regulate grinding pressure and travel across the wheel.

The pin is steel; otherwise, the jig is brass and anodized aluminum.

This grinding jig works with any power or hand grinder that has a tool rest.

Put a tool in the jig, slide it against the alignment pin and one clamping thumbscrew to square it, adjust the blade projection for bevel angle, and tighten in place. The tool is now held squarely in the jig at the chosen bevel angle. Slide the jig back and forth across the tool rest and stone face to sharpen the tool.

The brass clamping bolts have nylon washers to prevent galling; other parts are made from hard aluminum, further hardened by anodizing to prevent wear. High-friction pads ensure solid clamping without inadvertent misalignment.

The jig fits in the slot of the Veritas® Grinder Tool Rest (05-M-2301); the riding ledges adapt it to other tool rests.

The major weakness of most bench grinders is that the tool rests are virtually useless. It is nearly impossible to find one with a rest that is solid and square.

The Veritas® Grinder Tool Rest can be used with 6in or 8in utility bench grinders and many belt sanders/grinders. It mounts directly to the bench in front of the grinder and can be readily folded out of the way for freehand grinding.

The 102mm wide table straddles wheels up to 25mm wide. It is grooved for sliding jigs and center drilled for rotating jigs. The slotted arms allow a wide range of angular and height adjustments. Spring-loaded gyratory handles lock it solidly in position and can be rotated out of the way after locking. You can easily move it from one grinder to another or quickly remove it from the bench.

Accurately machined, anodized aluminum construction. Included is an angle-setting gauge to set the table to the common bevel angles of 20°, 25°, 30° and 35°.

This honing compound, which took over two years to develop, is the most effective on the market.

It is a blend of both chromium and aluminum oxide to give the best combination of cutting speed and fine finish. The bonding is formulated for ease of charging. It will adhere equally well to felt, leather or wood.

Cuts quickly but it leaves a mirror finish with a light wax film. The average size of scratch pattern it leaves behind is 0.5 microns or 0.00002in. Ideal for carving tools and firmer gouges, it can be used for final honing of almost any tool. Used with a felt wheel or leather belt for power honing or with a leather strop for hand honing.
