Graphite Pad
The ‘Graphite Pad’ is used to reduce the friction and heat
building between the abrasive belt and Linisher plate.This
will help to prolong the llife of the abrasive belt.
1. Remove the side access plate (G) and raise the linisher to the
upright position by loosening the two Hex screws (1), see fig 06.
Tighten the Hex screws to secure the linisher.
NOTE: IF YOU PREFER NOT TO USE THE
‘GRAPHITE PAD’ SKIP THIS STEP

Setting the Jig
To adjust the compound Jig to the machine you need to set the guide jig bar
assembly to the zero position.Once done tighten the locking handle.
With the two 12mm bolts slightly undone you will be able to move the platen forwards or
backwards in position.
With the abrasive belt fitted move the platen so that the abrasive just touches the bar.

With 25˚ degrees set on the jig the measurement between the face of the abrasive and
the inner face of the side bar should be 25mm clearence.
Place your chisel with the bevel face up in the Honing Guide Assemby, code 105281 and
adjust the chisel so it projects 25mm out from the Honing Guide using the ultimate edge
projection gauge and clamp the chisel in place.Note: 25mm projection is used for all
angles.
Using a digital leveling box check the compound jig bar is perpendicular to the linisher.
Place the leveling box onto the bar, it should read ‘ZERO’ on the display. If adjustment is
required, lightly loosen the four Hex screws and adjust the compound jig until the‘Bar’is
in line with the linisher Nip up the Hex screws to secure the jig.

Place a square or similar down between the bar and platen and clamp the jig in place.
Check the distance is the same across the bar and platen.To adjust,first place the
square to the far right and turn grub screws (B-D) in a clockwise direction to move the
bar forward.Ajust until correct.Now move to the square to far left and adjust screws (A-C)

Axminster Compound Jig (code 103738) Ultimate Edge Micro Bevel Gauge (code 105427)
Axminster Honing Guide Assembly (code 105281)
Tormek®Jigs for Gouges (code 102132)
Polishing and Honing “Twist n Fix” Arbor (code 105419)
This is machined from specially anodised alloy and bolts easily
onto 4 pre tapped threaded holes on the belt arm.This jig has
the familiar round bar in ground silver steel to allow Tormek
jigs to be mounted. One length of round bar are provided. A
clever system of sliding the bar in two directions in one
operation is employed, locked with just a twist of a handle.
The jig has graduations laser marked into the body so that
consistent repeat settings can be made.There are 4 adjusting
grub screws to allow the jig to be set correctly to the belt
platter both horizontally and vertically.
Having ground the primary bevel on any tool the secondary
bevel or micro bevel actually does the majority of the work.
It is exactly what it says it is a micro bevel which can be
increased with ease each time the tool becomes dull.The
micro bevel guide is made of stainless steel and aluminium
and has the ability to accept the tool still mounted in the
honing guide, the precise angle of the micro bevel can be
easily set and with a few positive passes over a fine diamond
or waterstone a superb edge can be achieved.
The Ultimate Edge Honing Guide is perfect for plane blades,
joinery chisels etc.This fits onto the round bar which is part of
the Compound Jig. Clamping the blade tightly, both primary
and secondary bevels can be achieved if required.The whole jig
is manufactured from stainless steel and has a simple setting
screw to control the width. The LH jaw is reversible and has
twin jaws, one curved so that chisels that do not have perfectly
parallel sides (such as Japanese and old hand forged chisels)
can be clamped, the other jaw being parallel.The jaws are
dovetailed, so securely clamp thetools against the body.The
jaws accommodate blades from 3-66mm in width. A setting
gauge is provided to enable the correct sharpening angle to
be set based upon a standard projection of the cutting tool at
25mm from the guide.
Many of the Tormek® jigs work amazingly well on the 12mm bar
of the Ultimate Edge and provide the user with extremely sharp
and accurately ground tools.The Tormek fingernail grinding jig
is shown using an aluminium oxide belt with a 65mm
protrusion. See the Tormek® pages for full details.

Polishing and Honing Accessories
This table is an accessory for the Ultimate Edge Compound
Jig.This is machined from anodised alloy and is supplied
with a mitre setting guide.The table is locked by a handle
locking securely onto the round bar. Anodised in black, there
is a quadrant of angles laser marked into the surface for
easy reference. Ideal for freehand lathe tool sharpening and
general linishing. Size 130 x 75mm.
The unique“Twist n Fix”multipurpose arbor allows for the
virtually instant change of different mops, felt wheels and
profiling wheels. Supplied with mounting screws and one
“Twist n Fix” arbor additional arbors can be purchased
singularly or in a set of 3.This unique 12mm diameter quick
change arbor system allows the power source to be run in
either forward or reverse direction. Polishing mops, felt wheels
etc should always be used in a specific order; the ability to
change these almost instantly ensures that the process of
starting coarse and ending up fine is always followed.
As with all accurate sharpening, it’s all about the angles and
our 18 piece set gives all angles from 90° through to 5°.The
set is perfect for setting up sharpening guides as well as
checking ground angles.The UJK level box is an additional
useful accessory for the Ultimate Edge, its ability to record
and set angles is perfect for this application.
A variety of 12mm bore accessories are available for use on
the“Twist n Fix”12mm arbor including a leather profiled
wheel for carving tools, a rubberised wheel for polishing and
traditional mops both stitched, loose leaf and sisal.
N.B. Smaller sizes of abrasive soaps are available online.
There are many different
types of abrasive ideally
suited to the purpose
of metal sharpening or
grinding.We have
listed below the most
popular ones and will
add online a number of
other types of abrasive
belt. As well as abrasive belts we have added a high quality ultra
flexible leather honing belt which can be used with the various
polishing pastes. For general use we recommend aluminium
oxide at about 180g working finer to 400g for final finishing
before any secondary bevel is applied using an ultra fine
diamond or waterstone. 3M’s Trizact abrasive is ideal for final
grinding of all materials resulting in a fine edge ready to use
straight off the machine.This is a different abrasive from normal
convention but equates to 600G, 1200G and 3000G Note: if dust
extraction is to be used a fireproof hose should ALWAYS be
used (103717).
