Please help! knife sharpening jig for belt sander
I have a small belt sander that I use for sharpening knives but sharpening angle consistency is always a problem. I've been trying to comue up with a jig to maintain a constant angle against the belt sander (see photo)
Ideas? I can't seem to figure out a viable solution to what should be a simple solution....right??!!!
I have a scissor sharpener that uses an adjustable jig. I have adapted this gig to my belt sander. The standard jig is fairly short (probably 18" total") so i used an optional 31" JIG. This is available from "Twice as Sharp" but is quite pricey. The arms can be easily made from 3 equal lengths of aluminum (or other metal). The clamp could be made but is probably worth buying from them. Having said all this, I don't use it because I found it so easy to just freehand. I hope these photos will help you come up with something.
