Ellsworth style jig system adapted for 3X21 belt sander. Was lucky there was threaded inserts on top of this old B&D sander to attach board. Otherwise you will have to use straps, clamps, or whatever to make it work. Use a sander with flat top if possible.
Parting tool is a piece of cake. Of course it could be free handed as well.
Ellsworth jig variation. Can be made smaller than the Wolverine. Wood is more forgiving and safer. Can be made smaller and shaped to avoid interference with the belt. Angle bracket is used to index the flute consistently and then usually swung out of the way.
Skew with Lacer style curved edge is easy to develop and maintain. I thought the flexibility of the platen would be a problem, but it actually seems to be an advantage so far. I don't have to be obsessive about matching the bevel angle.
Roughing gouge is of course no big deal.
And the straight scraper is easy and a very nice burr results from the belt going up and away from the edge.
Finally, a safe way to use a jig do a steep bevel with a straight traditional grind for the bottom of your bowls. (Notes at bottom of fixture are to remind the user how to change the belt. On this old sander it is not obvious.)
The French curve left hand scraper needs a table, so here is one that works well with the system.
And, if you order today, you get a slick way to grind your bench chisels at no extra cost! I adjusted the table so that I got a little hollow grind which I like to ease honing of the chisels. This is the easiest way I have found to have a nice straight across grind. No swinging back and forth as with a wheeled grinder.
