I am in the process of setting up a Wolverine sharpening jig. I bought it from Ed Gerhard. I thought he said is was used, but except for not having packing, it looks brand new. There is a definite learning curve with this item. Today, I'll try to make those wood setting gauges for a couple of my tools. Ran into a bit of a problem. I had to rearrange my grinding/sharpening station to set this up. To do that, I had to reverse the sharpening wheel on the motor. As I put it on, I notice that the arbor is slightly larger than the shaft causing some off-centerdness (is that a word? ). Enneyhow, it doesn't run perfect. I did use the diamond dresser to smooth up the face of the wheel. That made a big difference. I hadn't really examined that for a long time. Wadda mess. Question is: Would it be practical to put tape or something on the shaft to make the wheel arbor snug? What to do? BTW, my ancient Crafstman motor runs at 1750 rpm. Recommended is 3450. Is that a big issue? I am not really anxious to start shopping for a new motor.
