Woodcut Tool's founder Ken Port wanted to make sharpening more simple, accurate and repeatable. In the late 1990's Ken collaborated with Jerry Glaser from the USA to design the Woodcut Tru-Grind. Ken and Jerry recognised that many turners have various physical constraints and therefore wanted to make the sharpening process simple.
Core to the Tru-Grind design is the unique ability to simply set the jig to a number, with accurate repeatability, the versatility of a single jig to hold any woodturning tool without the need of an adaptor and the compact design of the system. This single jig will take mini tools up to 1-1/2" in diameter.
In 2020, with customer feedback Woodcut Tools began a process to improve the Base Slide and Sturdy Rest to make the sharpening process more simple, accurate and repeatable. After almost three years of testing various new Base Slide and Sturdy Rest design prototypes with turners across the world to ensure the new products were right, the new Woodcut Tru-Grind Base Slide and Sturdy Rest was available for customers in mid 2023.
EASIEST JIG - Ken Port, inspired by a design developed by the American Engineer Jerry Glazer, designed the Tru- Grind jig with an easy lock and rotate system, unlike any other companies jig. Meaning you don't need to fiddle around getting the right angle each time.
Our jig simply sharpens the following tools WITHOUT any other fiddly accessories required.
The base slide features a dual pivot points for versatility. They are also compact in size as due to our unique Tru-Grind jig design there is no need for a huge base slide like other systems on the market. Fits most popular brands of 6" or 8" dry bench grinders such as Rikon or Jet system.
The comprehensive user guide helps in making the set up and use of the Tru-Grind easy. There are also multiple videos on You Tube.
