Tormek SE-77 Square Edge Jig - Innovative Jig For Sharpening Wood Chisels and Plane Blades / Irons

Awesome. I can now repeatably grind a perfect camber in my plane irons. It also does a great job of adjusting for a straight and square grind. This jig has been a long time coming in my opinion. Because the Tormek system is so nearly perfect and so well made. The original Square Edge Jig did not reliable produce a perfect square edge. I always had to fiddle with mine to get perfect square. This jig makes any slight correction very easily and on the fly (...almost- turn off the machine while adjusting I suppose) And although Tormek doesn’t make a big deal about it- it will grind a camber if you loosen the thumb knobs about a half turn each for most smoothers. Nothing else on the market will do that - at least not that I’m aware of. You’ll love it.

Nice product

If you use your Tormek for chisels this is a must have. Works great and well made. Not cheap. Careful with the knobs. I lost a small one the first day using, totally the user not the fault of the manufacturer.

Had 3 or 4 chisels all sharpened in about 20 minutes. Works great and easy with the tormek sharpening book instructions. Great attachment!

This is a complicated item, but for a good reason. THere are two adjusting knobs on the far end that allow you to fine tune the squareness at which your chisel, etc is held in the tool. They also, if both loosened a bit, allow you to grind a slight crown in the tip of the tool (Some plane users prefer this). I made the mistake of playing with them and then not checking I put them back right\...MISTAKE! but my fault. If you play with these, make sure to take special care to return them to square. PLease read the instructions. NEVERTHELESS, a great tool that helped me make fairly quiclk reshaping of tool edges with out the halfhazard and sloppy work I was doing freehand before. For me it's worth the farily steep price.

This is a new style jig for use with the Tormek wet grinder. This is the jig for your plane irons and chisels. I was always fighting with the old style original jig that came.with my Tormek in 1997. When I saw this I thought well maybe it is better. It is so much better that there is no comparison. This is the way the original should have worked. I can't recommend this new jig enough. It is spot on accurate and it tightens down on the irons or chisels and keeps them perfectly aligned. It is a vast improvement. Worth the price.

Works like a charm.

I have a book tool wet grinder. Pair it with the the tormek straight jig and you get perfect cut every time.

It arrives, is reassuringly heavy out of the box. The casting is good and the adjusters run smooth. The instructions are excellent with good advice about sharpening in. It runs so smooth on the support bar and is highly adjustable. It's a beautifully thought out and well built jig. I bought it because the cheap jig with my whetstone sharpener was twisting under tightening and only cut at an angle. Within 5 mins on my grinder with this jig my wonky blade was coming back to square. Buy it. Pain in the pocket but a lifetime of pleasure in the using.

I have the king brand sharpener that comes with a flimzey square jig. I got this because it’s better quality. Looks like it would work well except the bar isn’t long enough on the king sharpener to accommodate the range of motion required. I might been willing to keep the jig except there is a tab on the back of the jig that bumps the closest vertical bar and again limits the range of motion in the other direction. Otherwise it’s a great jig. I considered modifying the jig to make it work but I decided to send it back.

Ik heb deze tormek gekocht voor een ander merk slijpmachine, maar hij past gewoon. Veel beter dan het hulpstuk dat ik bij de originele kreeg. Echt een aanrader als je een slijpmachine voor je beitels of schaven gebruikt.

Die Vorrichtung ist viel massiver als gedacht, gewohnt hohe Qualität von Tormek. Alles ist sehr durchdacht, sogar an Befestigungsmöglichkeiten für die Endanschläge wurde gedacht. Die Schleifergebnisse in Kombination mit dem SJ200 sind hervorragend. Klare Kaufempfehlung.

Excellent, mais attention au réglage du parallélisme de l’affutage. Il faut faire une première passe légère pour vérifier que le tranchant est bien perpendiculaire au ciseau, car le repère n’est pas toujours fiable. En revanche, une fois le réglage trouvé, il est bien stable si l’on a bien serré les vis.
