SHARPENING WITH WOODCUT TOOLS

Simple, Accurate, Repeatable

Woodcut Tool's founder Ken Port wanted to make sharpening more simple, accurate and repeatable.

In the late 1990's Ken collaborated with Jerry Glaser from the USA to design the Woodcut Tru-Grind. Ken and Jerry recognised that many turners have various physical constraints and therefore wanted to make the sharpening process simple.

Core to the Tru-Grind design is the unique ability to simply set the jig to a number, with accurate repeatability, the versatility of a single jig to hold any woodturning tool without the need of an adaptor and the compact design of the system.

In 2020, with customer feedback Woodcut Tools began a process to design a higher spec Base Slide and Sturdy Rest to make the sharpening process even more simple, accurate and repeatable. After almost three years of testing various new Base Slide and Sturdy Rest design prototypes with turners across the world to ensure the new products were right, the new Woodcut Tru-Grind Premium Base Slide and Sturdy Rest was available for customers in mid 2023.

Customers still have the option to purchase the Original Tru-Grind Base Slide and Sturdy Rest, which has been well used and loved around the world since 2000.
