Assembly
The Model T32732 must be assembled and
mounted around your bench grinder. Both the
grinder and the sharpening system should be
placed as close as possible to the workbench
edge so arms can be adjusted correctly.
Wear safety glasses during
the entire setup process!
To assemble sharpening system:
1. Measure from workbench surface to center
of grinding wheels on bench grinder (see
Figure 3).
Spacer Block
6¼"
— If distance is at least 61⁄4", no adjustment
is required.
Figure 3. Example of distance to measure
(wheel guard removed for clarity).
Figure 4. Illustration of spacer block used to
increase distance.
— If distance is less than 61⁄4", mount your
bench grinder on top of a spacer block to
increase distance to 61⁄4" (see Figure 4).
Note: If mounting on spacer block, any
rubber machine feet on grinder should be
removed from machine base and re-installed
under spacer block.

3. Align front of (1) base with front of left grind-
ing wheel (see Figure 6).
Note: Handles should face away from grinder
(see Figure 6).
6. Mount each base to workbench using (3)
1⁄4" x 11⁄4" wood screws (see Figure 8).

Eye and face injuries and respiratory prob-
lems can occur while operating this tool.
Wear personal protective equipment to
reduce your risk from these hazards.
Keep hair, clothing, and
jewelry away from mov-
ing parts at all times.
Entanglement can result
in death, amputation, or
severe crushing injuries!
Sharpening Using Long Arm
The long arm can be installed in either base to
provide a place to rest the handle of woodturning
tools. The V-holder allows you to rotate or pivot
the tool against the grinding wheel, which is useful
when sharpening gouges and skew chisels.
4. While keeping base aligned with wheel front,
adjust base so arm hole aligns with center of
left wheel (see Figure 7).

5. Repeat Steps 3–4 with remaining base and
right grinding wheel.
IMPORTANT: Front edge of each base
should be within 1⁄2" of workbench front edge.
If bases are not within 1⁄2", move grinder and
bases forward while maintaining adjustments
from previous steps.

3. Place woodturning tool handle in V-holder at
front of long arm (see Figure 10).
4. Adjust long arm until entire bevel of tool
contacts grinding wheel, then secure posi-
tion by pulling base handles forward (see
Figure 10).

Sharpening Using Short Arm
The short arm can be installed in either base
to attach the adjustable table included with the
sharpening system. Rest the shaft of a woodwork-
ing tool on the table and pivot or rotate the tool
against the grinding wheel during the operation.

arm.
4. Place woodworking tool shaft against table
and grinding wheel (see Figure 13).
5. Loosen adjustable handle and adjust table
until entire bevel of tool contacts grinding
wheel, then secure table by tightening adjust-
able handle (see Figure 13).
6. Adjust short arm until there is less than 1⁄16" of
clearance between table and grinding wheel,
then secure position by pulling base handles
forward (see Figure 14).
Note: Table angle and height may need to be
readjusted after table clearance is adjusted.

7. Tilt tool away from grinding wheel, connect
grinder to power, and turn machine ON.

To sharpen a gouge, pivot or rotate the tool
against the grinding wheel to follow its curves to
each outer corner. A gouge typically has a solid
bevel on the bottom, a fluted bevel on the top, and
wings extending back towards the handle (see
Figure 15).
Sharpening Gouges
Figure 16. Typical gouge grinds.
We recommend researching these different gouge
grinds further to determine which will work best for
your project and for detailed instructions on how
to sharpen the various edges and angles.
Sharpening Chisels
For the straight edges of a chisel, move it from
side to side across the grinding wheel to sharpen
the first bevel, then turn the tool over and grind
the opposite side for the second bevel (see
Figure 17).

Bear in mind that changing the angles of any of
these facets, or rolling a gouge past one of its
corners, will have an effect on the overall profile
or "grind" of the gouge (see the chart in Figure 16
for some typical gouge grinds).

These two bevels will be determined by the tool's
angle in relation to the surface of the grinding
wheel. However, a skew chisel has an additonal
bevel to keep in mind, as shown in Figure 18.

This third bevel prevents you from feeding a tool
into the grinding wheel straight-on, as viewed
from above (see Figure 19), so be sure to con-
sider all three bevels, and the best way to support
them, before feeding your tool.

NOTICE
Refer to our website or latest catalog for
additional recommended accessories.
T32733—Skew Grinding Attachment
The T32733 Skew Grinding Attachment securely
positions your skews in the V-holders at offset
angles for precision sharpening. The left and right
V-holders are adjustable to maintain bevels at
exact skew angles.
Figure 20. Model T32733 Skew Grinding
Attachment for T32732.
T32734—Gouge Grinding Attachment
The T32734 Gouge Grinding Attachment secures
your spindle gouges, bowl gouges, and roughing
gouges at angles up to 40° for repeatable shap-
ing. The brass knob locks in your tool and doubles
as a thumb rest while rounding gouges. The jig
holds gouges up to 19⁄16" wide with shafts between
3⁄16"–13⁄8". Quickly grind fingernail profiles, side
grinds, and simple bevels.
Figure 21. Model T32734 Gouge Grinding
Attachment for T32732.
T32735—Angle Gauge
The T32735 Angle Gauge consistently produces
sharp, repeatable, and exact angles on wood-
working tools. The gauge slides into the table of
the T32732 Bench Grinder Sharpening System
and adjusts between 0°–24° left or right. Great for
sharpening skews, scrapers, cutters, and other
tools needing a specific angled edge.
