Repeating Wolverine platform angle

[Jim Holcombe]

As we all know, the Wolverine grinding platform doesn't have an angle gauge to repeat an angle that one likes for different tools. I cobbled up a little piece of 1/4” poplar to go under the tightening screw and scribed a line on the vertical member. I will mark the poplar as I go through the grind angles I prefer.

Simple and effective, the way I like things

Jim, I maybe I am just dense, but I cannot see how this works. Would you please show picture of the jig in operation, perhaps at two different angles. Thank you.

 

[Jim Holcombe]

Dennis, the wood swivels with the platform. Once you set the platform at an angle you like, make a mark on the wood where it meets the scribe line for repeating.

I do not see any marks on the wood to indicate the angle setting

 

[Jim Holcombe]

Haven’t made any. Replaced it with a Kodiak rest.

…. make a mark on the wood where it meets the scribe line for repeating.

I’ll need to ruminate that for a while.

Third picture: see the scribed line? Set the platform to whatever angle you want. Make a mark on the wood (which swivels with the platform) that aligns with the scribed line. Write whatever angle it is on the wood. Can’t describe it any simpler.
