I have a wolverine sharpening jig system. Is there a after marked platform available to sharpen negative rake scrapers?

Oneway Wolverine grinding jig platform change

You can get the standard or the mini platform. What shape of negative rake are you trying to sharpen?https://woodturnerscatalog.com/prod...platform-assembly?_pos=6&_sid=1bda78f0f&_ss=r

Why does your existing wolverine platform not work? Just set the angle and sharpen. May require different angles top/bottom.
This Talon is really nice, but about $100 too expensive for me to justify. I just use the platform that came with the Wolverine.

TALON - Rail Mount | Right Angle
The TALON, rail-mount (rail mount for use with the OneWay rail system), offers very fast, easy, accurate repeatability for 32 grinding angles using increments within 2 degrees. The range is from about 22 degrees to about 70 degrees depending on the mount and tilt adjustment. A skew adapter is...

Did not know if the Wolverine platform was wide enough to sharpen bigger scrapers or to get the correct angle to address the CBN wheels. I noticed that d-way had plywood platforms in order to address the angle on the CBN wheels. is that necessary using the Wolverine platform.
The Wolverine platform is wide enough to sharpen any turning tools I've needed to sharpen. I have a problem of it being too wide for some, particularly when they are very short. That is where I use the mini platform. Large scrapers should work fine with the standard platform.
With the Oneway jig, many have cut a notch in it to accommodate the 1 1/2 inch wide CBN wheels. They are seldom dead flat, so surfacing them may help as well. The Right Angle set up is pretty good, especially if your NRSs have different angles like the ones I use, which are 30 and 60 degrees on my robo rest, which I do not make any more. D Way does like to sharpen the cutting burr on their NRSs up side down saying that it makes for a cleaner cutting burr. I am not sure about that. As for size, They are plenty wide for sharpening scrapers of all sizes, at least for me.

I wrestled with the same problem. I use the Wolverine System with the mini-platform as close as I can get it to the wheel.
I use a digital mini-level to set the angle on the platform after zero-ing it on top of the grinder.
I do the top bevel first, so I get a decent burr when finished, setting the angle on the platform to 50°, then I do the lower (larger) bevel with the platform to 25°. So far, so good.
