With Tormek's SVA-170 axe jig, you can sharpen your axes to the maximum without the risk of overheating. The axe rests firmly in the jig and is sharpened with a constant edge angle.

The rotation of the stone pushes up the axe so that it is fixed against the rubber tip of the jig and amplifies the force of your hand, the edge gets a suitable grinding pressure against the grindstone. You also don't get cuts against the stone, which otherwise easily occur when you grind freehand against the grinding direction.

Controlled sharpening

You easily follow the shape of the edge no matter what type of axe you are sharpening. A leisure axe has a curved edge while a carving axe may have an almost straight edge.

Edge angle according to the type of job

Choose the edge angle that is best for your axe. An all-purpose axe for sport and leisure will have a larger edge angle than a carving axe. A cleaver requires an even larger edge angle. Carving axes can be sharpened asymmetrically with a larger sharpening phase on the left side (if you are right-handed). The axe will then carve more easily because the cutting force is closer to the carving direction.

Gentle on the steel

With the Tormek grinding system, the edge is continuously cooled with water so that the steel does not risk overheating and losing its hardening. When dry grinding on an ordinary fast rotating bench grinder, there is a high risk of burning the edge and destroying the axe.

Placer yxan i jiggen

Place the axe in the jig. Set the edge angle by adjusting the universal support. Either the original angle or a new angle using the protractor.

Press the palm of your hand against the axe near the stone. The rotation of the stone will then push the axe itself up against the grinding jig and grinding will be easy and effortless.

Follow the shape of the edge (straight or curved) when sharpening by raising and lowering the handle. At the same time, let the jig slide sideways on the universal support so that the full width of the stone is used.

Design

Inställning av yxjiggen

The jig consists of a wedge-shaped attachment with a rubber-smooth stop. The jig works on the universal support on which it slides over the stone.

The jig is designed so that the rotation of the stone pushes the axe against the jig. You only need to hold and control the axe with your hands. The jig only works with the stone rotating against the edge. If necessary, the bridge plate can be removed to make room for the axe handle.

Maximum height, axe size 170 mm.
