- Page 3 Ratchet Handle Platform Left Hand Base Clamp Setting Up For your new Charnwood Grinder Sharpening System to work best, the grinder and your grinding jig should both be securely mounted to a workbench. If you need to move grinder around your workshop, then use a base board to mount the sharpening system onto.
- Page 4 The front of the base clamp should be aligned with the front edge of the grinding wheel. The bottom of the base clamp must be mounted between 160 and 165mm below the centre line of the grinding wheel. For smaller grinders, it may be necessary to mount the grinder on a second piece of board to raise the height.
- Page 5 Charnwood BG6 Grinder Package The bench grinder sharpening system is available as a package with the Charnwood BG6 bench grinder. We recommend using 19mm (3/4”) thick material to create a base board 420mm x 250mm. Then a second piece 170mm x 250mm to lift the grinder to the correct height for the sharpening system.
- Page 6 Using the Long Support Arm The Long Support arm can be used to grind standard (flat grind) bowl gouges and roughing gouges. They are both ground with the same technique. 1. Slide the Long Support Arm into the base clamp. 2.
- Page 7 Using the Skew Jig Attachment The Skew Jig attachment will perform the skew angle grinding on flat and curved skews and scrapers. 1. Place the Skew Jig attachment over the end of the Long Arm support and hold in place by tightening the round knob.
- Page 8 Using the Fingernail Gouge Jig The Fingernail Gouge Jig will consistently produce repeatable geometries on turning tools such as fingernail and spindle gouges. With regular grinding jigs these profiles can be difficult to replicate and maintain. The Fingernail Gouge Jig when used in conjunction with the Long Support Arm will easily and consistently replicate these grinds.
- Page 9 Using the Platform The Platform can be used to sharpen scrapers, parting tools, flat or straight edge skews as well as standard wood chisels. 1. With the grinder turned off slide the assembled platform into the base on either side of the grinder. 2.
