- The Oneway Wolverine Grinding Jig is the core component of the Oneway Wolverine line of grinding products. Producing razor sharp tools and finely finished bevels has moved from an art into a science. Owning the Wolverine Grinding Jig will ultimately save you time, frustration and money.
- The included Quad Setup Jig helps you correctly set the proper grinding angles for Roughing Gouges at 45 deg, Parting Tools at 30-60 deg, Skews at 21.5-43 deg and Bowl Scrapers at 8 deg. Its called the “Quad Setting Jig” since one jig sets the correct angles for all 4 of the other HSS woodturning lathe tools. The Quad Setting Jig is designed to be used with 8” bench grinders.
- Carpenter chisels up to 1-1/4" wide can be sharpened using the Wolverine's Vee-Arm. The arm is adjusted to set the bevel, and the chisel can be ground with small sideways motions and light cutting pressure. Three or four strokes on a strop will generate a razor sharp edge. The Wolverine Grinding Jig comes with a 3 x 5 inch adjustable platform which allows even large scrapers to be ground with ease.
- Parting tools are sharpened using the platform. Laying it flat on its side on the platform gives a slight hollow grind which is very desirable for clean parting. The Wolverine's Vee arm can be used to sharpen skews, but a far superior method is ONEWAY's Skew Grinding Attachment (not included). With a finely dressed 80 or 120 grit wheel, even very small carving tools can be superbly ground using the standard Vee-Arm.

Time to Achieve The Perfect Edge
The WOLVERINE Grinding Jig
Is the CORE component of the ONEWAY WOLVERINE line of grinding products. Producing razor sharp tools and finely finished bevels has moved from an art into a science. Owning the WOLVERINE Grinding Jig will ultimately save you time, frustration and money. You can now grind your tools properly the first time. Uniform cutting edges and single facet bevels will give you safer, more predictable tools. Because you are grinding your tools less, both your wheels and tools will last longer. Our Grinding Jig can be easily used to sharpen the following tools:

What's in The Box?
This WOLVERINE Sharpening Jig System Includes:
- 1 each Steel V-Arm
- 2 each Steel Bases with Easy Locking Handles
- 1 each Large Adjustable Steel Sharpening Platform
- 1 each Quad Setup Jig for Setting Up Accurate Platform Angles
- 1 each Wolverine Sharpening System DVD
- 1 each Full Assembly Setup Instructions
WOLVERINE V-Arm Pocket Assembly
Use the V-Arm to sharpen Gouges (check out our Vari-Grind - for improved grinding of side grinds and fingernail shapes. Vari-Grind NOT INCLUDED), Carpenter Chisels, Skews and some small carving tools.
27-1/2" Long Steel V-Arm
ONEWAY Grinding Tip:
If you are working with a tool that will need to be resharpened several times, leave the V-Arm clamped in place. By doing this, you can rapidly reproduce an identical bevel angle. You can also sharpen the tool before you put it away so that your tools will always be sharp wile removing only a minimal amount of material.
Large Steel Platform
Made from heavy duty steel, the large platform can be adjusting inward or outward depending on what tool your sharpening. You can adjust the angle of the platform by unlocking the pivot point with the large, easy to handle ratcheting knob. Once the correct angle is achieved, re-secure the ratcheting knob. Use the Platform for Scrapers, Skews and Parting Tools.

The components are well made, and operate EXACTLY as they manufacturer says they do.
While I had heard on many forums, and from more than a few woodturners that I wanted a slow speed grinder, OneWay recommends the 3650 rpm 8" grinder for this setup. So I have my sharpening station set up using a Ryobi 8" grinder, Norton white wheels, and fitted with the OneWay wolverine jig, skew platform, and varigrind.
The system set up and used correctly allows me to very quickly, and easily touch up my turning tools, and keep them good and sharp and keep turning without screwing up my gouges and skews.
The large platform features a great deal of adjustability, which allows me to grind the proper bevel in to my hand chisels, and plane irons.
Overall this has been a priceless addition to my shop. With the build quality this thing has, even though there are less expensive versions out there, I whole heartedly recommend the Wolverine. You won't be sorry you paid the premium for this tool!
I've had this jig for well over a year now and it's great. I bought a 2nd set to go with a new grinder, and so that allows me to grind from 80 grit up to 600 on CBN wheels. I have two setups for sharpening gouges on a 180 and then a 600 wheel and it works great. My only knock is that the mounting holes are a bit of a hassle for screwing the base to a surface. Big whoop, right :-)
So the fit, finish and build quality are excellent and I highly recommend this to use with a Wolverine gouge setup for reputable profiling..
------------------------------ Previous review ------------------------------
Turns sharpening into a simple process for my bowl gouges in particular. It's well made and heavy..
Some indexing marks on the slide mechanism would be helpful, and the locking mechanism can cause the slide to shift a bit if you aren't careful. But overall I'm very pleased.
I bought to use with a 10" slow speed grinder and had to mount the grinder on a riser to put the jig directly under the wheel. But that isn't a problem; just a heads up for anyone with a 10" wheel on their grinder
The good:
Solid and substantial construction
The basic grinder work platform is a huge upgrade in and of itself relative to the tiny things that come with most bench grinders
Great design
Easy to use
The less good:
To use this jig you need to mount it in alignment with the grinder wheels. This typically requires making a plywood mounting base for the jig and grinder, mounting the grinder, then aligning and mounting the jig. The problem is that the jig mounts to the board with screws through 3 holes. With my 8" Ryobi grinder in place, it blocked direct access to the jig mounting holes. This led to trying to drive in the screws using a flex-drive shaft, and I must have side-loaded one and slid the jig as it ended up being mounted a couple of degrees off relative to the wheel. Not a huge issue to work around, but annoying nonetheless. The jig itself does not have any capability to adjust out this type of error, and being mounted with screws means that to correct this small amount of misalignment I'd need to make a new mounting base as a new screw in the old base would find itself going into the old hole. It would be a relatively easy design fix to widen the mounting base of the jig half an inch or so and provide clearance for installing the mounting screws - as well as having room to add extra holes in case of an initial misalignment.
The platform is easy to adjust both towards/away from the wheel, as well as angle. And it holds its setting very well.
It seems a bit expensive, but when you see the quality of build and materials, you'll think its well worth the price. And when you use it, you'll be glad you bought it.
