BUSY BEE PRO SHARPENING SYSTEM

The BBSHARP Bench Grinder Sharpening System provides a stable, adjustable setup for sharpening gouges, scrapers, parting tools, and skew chisels. Designed for woodturners who want greater control and repeatability at the grinder, it helps position tools consistently against the abrasive surface for more uniform bevels and profiles.

The system includes an adjustable base platform and V-arm attachment for supporting different tool shapes and sharpening positions. A fingernail gouge jig assists with forming and maintaining swept-back gouge profiles, while the skew jig helps hold skew chisels at a controlled angle during sharpening.

Constructed from cast iron and steel, the BBSHARP is built for regular workshop use. Its powder-coated finish adds protection against wear, while the adjustable design allows it to accommodate a range of turning tool sizes.

The system is intended for use with compatible bench grinders and belt sanders, making it a practical addition to workshops that already have sharpening equipment in place.
