Produces repeatable results

JOHN in AR

Comments On Jan 02, 2013:This product does just what it says it will. I am a novice sharpener, but am able to produce consistent results without multiple bevels.
I first place the contact points on the grinding wheel and then slide or tilt (as appropriate) the sharpening jig into the other end of the Raptor. I was doing it the other way around initially, but now find this easier.
When sharpening with my Ellsworth Jig, I set the Wolverine pocket using the 40 degree Raptor. I seem to be producing Ellsworth's desired bevel angle.

Good Tool, but NOT for skews!

Steve in CT

Comments On Oct 15, 2012:My new set of Raptors arrived today and I had been looking forward to fixing the angle on my skew - I had been having trouble getting the platform of my Wolverine set to the right angle and distance from the wheel. I wanted a 35 degree angle on my skew so I picked up the 35 degree Raptor, then a little while later I measured 70 degrees on the skew. It finally dawned on me that the Raptors are for single bevels and the skew is a double sided bevel tool, so you end up with double with what the angle on the Raptor is, but this means that the Raptors can't handle a skew - if they could they'd have 20 & 17.5 degree Raptors available and they don't.

Editors Note: You're correct. Skew chisels typically require a bevel angle of 30 degrees or less. Raptor Setup tools are designed for turning gouges and scrapers.
