SVD-186 for woodcarving tools The Tormek slow running water cooled grindstone is ideal for sharpening your carving tools. The SVD-186 makes it easy to sharpen even curved or bent carving tools. The grindstone is gentle to the carbon steel and eliminates the risk of overheating the delicate edge. The jig can be set to fit the shape of the tool, so you can create an even bevel on the entire part of the convex shaped edge. You can also sharpen down bent gouges with the same superior results. For woodcarving tools there are no set profiles, the easiest way to set the edge angle is to simply colour the bevel so you can see to see where the sharpening will take place. What differs SVD-186 from SVD-185? SVD-186 is a further development of SVD-185. The jig now fits up to 36 mm wide tools (earlier 21 mm), has an improved clamping insert, and an easy and precise click setting. The lower sleeve has been shortened to work better with the Tormek T-3 and T-4.
