Glaser jig for Molly

>Here is a pic of the Jerry Glaser jig we talked about in the chat room tonight.
It is in many ways like the Oneway jig, but seems easier (more natural)to use for me. I do use the Oneway jig right now. But I am planning to set this up again. I stopped using it when I mounted my grinder up higher. The jig then became to short to use with my current setup. I have since got the parts to make it work for me. Now I just need the time to do it. :)

I this better than Wolverine jigs?

>How is this jig better than the design of the Wolverine-types of jigs. I would think it very difficult to make small adjustments when changing from a gouge with one angle of bevel to another. Wouldn't "moving the floor up" to the level of the grinder (i.e., a V-platform like the wolverine) be better? Just curious.

>Hi David,
I got mine several years ago from Packard Woodworking. I don't recall seeing them in any of the latest catalogs. But I have heard that Jerry either still has some, or still makes them.

>Hello John,
I didn't say it was better, I just find it easier to use... for me, that is. It was the first grinding jig I ever used, so that may be why it feels more comfortable. As for adjustments, there are degree markings on the head of the jig from 0 to 90 to get the right angle. I would find the right one for each tool and write the number on the wall above the grinder. It was very easy to reset it.
Best wishes,
Dave
