Just picked up my Woodcraft slow speed grinder. Now I can't decide wich sharpening jig to get. I have looked at the Wolverine and the Veritas I believe it's called. Any suggestions or just build my own??

Wolverine is my choice...they are the one that most copy. Building your own isn't a horrible idea if you have the time and inclination.

I bought the Wolverine. It works as advertised!

I think they are about the same price everywhere. All things being equal I'd go to Packard Woodworks.

Wolverine hands down. I got to try both and I thought the wolverine was the easiest to use.

I did a poll a while ago on a pen turning site and hands down the wolverine with a slow speed grinder was the most popular sharpening choice among the turners on the site. This is also the set up I use and I would not trade it for anything.

Packard has the intermediate setup that includes the Diamond Jim wheel dresser for $149.00. Is the Diamond Jim a good wheel dresser?
