Tormek Bench Grinder Mounting Set | BGM-100

Tormek Bench Grinder Mounting Set | BGM-100.

The Tormek BGM-100 Bench Grinder Mounting Set provides a versatile solution for woodturners who wish to combine the speed of bench grinding with the precision of Tormek jigs. This system allows you to reshape tools quickly on a bench grinder while maintaining consistent profiles and sharpening angles. By using the SVD-186 R Gouge Jig, SVS-50 Multi Jig, SVD-110 Tool Rest, and TTS-100 Turning Tool Setter, you can work seamlessly across machines without changing jig settings.

One of the greatest challenges in sharpening woodturning tools is maintaining consistent profiles and angles. The BGM-100 resolves this by allowing you to use the same jigs on both your bench grinder and your Tormek machine, ensuring repeatable accuracy. Many experienced Tormek users pair their machines with a bench grinder equipped with this mounting set to achieve rapid reshaping before completing the final sharpening and honing on the water-cooled Tormek system.

Why BGM-100 Bench Grinder Mounting Set?

• Quickly reshapes tool profiles on your bench grinder.
• Compatible with SVD-186 R Gouge Jig, SVS-50 Multi Jig, SVD-110 Tool Rest, and TTS-100 Turning Tool Setter.
• Enables consistent jig settings between bench grinders and Tormek machines.
• Simple to use with standard bench grinders (with the correct grinding wheel).

Features & Benefits:

• Efficient Reshaping: Ideal for removing large amounts of steel quickly on a bench grinder before finishing on a Tormek.
• Consistent Accuracy: Maintains the same jig settings across both machines, reducing trial and error.
• Flexible Application: Suitable for woodturners with or without a Tormek machine, enabling precision shaping directly on the bench grinder.
• Angle Control: Works with the TTS-100 Turning Tool Setter to establish and repeat sharpening angles with ease.
• Heat Considerations: Supports best practices to avoid overheating HSS steel and ensures edge durability.
• Dust Management: Encourages the use of a separate dust extractor to reduce health risks and fire hazards.

Additional Guidance:

Grinding Disc Selection: Use an aluminium oxide disc with proper bonding—avoiding discs that are too hard or too soft—to prevent overheating and ensure clean cutting. Keep the wheel dressed and clean for consistent results.

Heat on HSS Steel: Although HSS withstands higher temperatures than carbon steel, grinding can still overheat thin edges. Avoid letting the edge turn blue and cool carefully to prevent microcracks.

Dust Safety: Grinding produces fine steel and abrasive dust. Always use a separate dust extractor to protect health and avoid mixing sparks with woodworking dust.
