It came with 60 and 120. When they wear out I will upgrade to CBN wheels.

Speaking from ignorance here...is 60/120 a good combination for sharpening turning chisels?

It is not bad. From what I have read most people like 180 grit for final sharpening. I watched a video of Doug Thompson from Thompson tools and he uses less than 120 grit. I am still new to this. Watch the video in Wednesday wisdom for woodturners with Doug Thompson it is very informative.

You will need more space behind the grinder to setup Wolverine Jig. Not sure but maybe 16 inches behind the grinder.

80/ 180 is better. Remember Doug is shaping his tools and that is why he uses coarser grit

Thanks Gerald. I will wait until I get the jig before I change anything.

To shape and sharpen your turning gouges, you may need something like this.  It fit directly under the wheel and it is adjustable to the particular gouge  you are going to sharpen or grind.
