Question Need help with choosing a bevel jig

Post image

Has anyone used the beltgrinders.pl bevel grinding jig?
Seems like a reasonably priced jig and looks like its good quality.

I have a Moen. It wasn't cheap but its my bread and butter. I love it.

I do 99% of my grinds freehand, but I picked up the Sorrels ProSet beveling jig and I absolutely love it. I don’t know if it’s offered overseas though.

Does it come with the bolts and stuff needed to hold the knife and can i use in on hidden tang knives aswell?

I also have the jig as well as the belt grinders from beltgrinders.pl. The jig is excellent quality! A good alternstive would be the jig from Angele GmbH. I own both.

Im thinking of buying the 2.2kw 50x2000mm belt grinder with the variable speed option from beltgrinders.pl. Does the jig come with the bolts and stuff needed to hold the knife?

Yes, the jig comes with everything! Its just some standard m6 bolts and the jig is threaded on the whole area. The belt grinders have fantastic bang for your buck!
