I bought a 46-460, that worked for a day then has been in the shop for 5 weeks! I just picked it up and to celebrate I picked up a grinding jig.
I have an old slow speed grinder from Woodcraft and just bought the Wolverine jig and Varigrind. Now it looks like I need to build a base. I've used one in a class but don't remember the details. Perhaps there was a block to set the gouge into the verigrind (I bought the old version not the II on the recommendation of folks here.)
Did you mount your on plywood? Do you leave the metal covers over the wheels. They seem to interfere with the brackets that go under the wheels and might interfere with grinding?
I've got some 3\4 birch ply and will pick up some bolts tomorrow to bolt down the grinder I think.
Any suggestions or especially pictures of your setup appreciated!
Thanks, newly addicted,
Jonathan
