I have used a Tormek for sharpening planes and chisels for several years.   I am now learning how to sharpen turning tools on it.  On page 62 of the instructions for the SVD-185, it suggests documenting on short strips of paper attached to the tool the three numbers needed to maintain exactly the same shape.

The angle – a=

The jig setting – JS =

The protrusion – P =

I understand the concept, and the details, but am wondering if anyone has already written down what those numbers are for the Sorby turning tools.  It would certainly save me, and anyone else, a boatload of time and mistakes if I can find such.

Any ideas?  Who should I contact?  Etc.?

Thanks,
