I cut different lengths of plastic drinking straws and slide one on the rear support rod at the very bottom of the where the post and the casting meet. Drop the ball guide down to the top of the straw and set the lock screw Different lengths of straw can be cut for any angle you want. Mark the degrees on the straws for fast setup. Makes a great companion set for speedy angle setting. No more tape or Sharpie marking. Excellent review of this tool. I like mine, and would recommend it to anyone. ✌

That sounded like a great idea at first... But thinking about it, the final angle will depend a lot on the width of the knife blade. In other words, with the vertical height set with one of your straws the stone will sit at a different angle on a narrow knife blade from a fatter one where the edge is much further out from the jaws of the clamp.

Steve, I noticed you said that the stone clamp has a stop to stop the stone at the blade. However the stop you left on the top of your vertical rod is in the wrong place. Put it between the stone and the vinyl ball. If the clamp strikes the blade it will booger the blade. One stop on the forstroke another on the backstroke.

The collar, when adjusted properly, will hit the nylon ball before the blade contacts the bracket near the handle.

Nice video my friend. I ordered the exact same thing (from China) and I had to do a modification or two to get it right. I kept tightening the handle piece that slips on the base plate that hold the stones. I finally drilled through the bar and that problem is fixed. Also if you want to do a good job you will notice that when you switch sides on blade, the angle changes so you really need to watch out for that and often reset the angle when you flip. I bought a little electronic level that is magnetized and I always check the angle before starting on each side. Takes a little longer but it is worth it. I have achieved great results with this tool and do not hesitate to recommend it. For this price you cannot find better,,,not even close. I did all my knives, friends and relatives knives as well. Depending on metal hardness I do a refresh about once a month at 600 grit and up. Every day common knives I stop at 1000 grit and go to 3000 on more expensive knives I sometimes go to 5000 grit on my Miyabi that has a 62 rockwell core the finish looks like glass.

There's no particular reason why that needs to be done up particularly tight - it's only there to stop the rod slipping out of the swivel fixing and there's no great pressure on that axis.

Nice one, mate. You might actually want to adjust a couple of things on your routine with this sharpener. The clamp on top of the vertical bar does nothing there. Remove it and put it on the horizontal one, between the stone and the teflon ball. The other one is alright where it is. Now the tip. With both lose, put the edge of the stone closer to your hand the further it can go on the knife and tight the clamp there, then pull the stone to the edge and clamp the far one. Now you have a movement limited to the length of the stone, and you won't risk the edge hitting it with the side of the stone or the guard on the carrier.

The locking part you put at the end of both of the rods should only be used at the end of the horizontal rod that is connected to the stones. The vertical rod with the hand tightening peace to set the angle should have the other locking peace set under neath it. Once this is done you can set the angle and tighten by hand and then use the Allen key to tighten and lock it in place while also acting as a memory set.

i have this exact unit, and found that you must reset the angle every time you "flip" the blade, the unit I have has a 3° difference from one side to the other, once you realize this and compensate the knife edge can be made extremely sharp, I can shave with blades I have sharpened with this unit. I also use the top "locking bolt" he uses on the main shaft UNDER the adjusting ball I find it helps prevent the ball from changing its degree where you cannot tighten the bolts very much or they will strip the thread.

I have exact same problem, only mine is a 5 degree difference. Do you simply reset the height each time you flip it to achieve the correct edge angle?

Leaving the bottom plate screw loose, but keeping the top plate tight pulls the bottom plate up to the blade, which remains flat against the top clamp plate. Thanks for the tip.

There are loads of protractor apps for mobile phones, just download two or thre and find one you like. I agree that the description of working out the angle, by taking the angle of the base and adding a few degrees is confusing and poor. But there is a better way... The trick is to get a protractor app where you can zero the display at any angle (most have this feature). You then put the phone on the main body of the bench clamp (the tubular part with the big spring inside), zero the reading there, then put the phone on the back of the stone holder while the stone is resting on the blade. You can now read the angle of the bevel directly (eg 20 degrees)

To properly use this sharpener and get the exact, correct angle on both sides you to use a digital level bix or your smartphone using a Level/Degree app. For example, I wanted a 20-degree angle on my bevel, so I used an app on my phone and got the correct 20 degrees. All good BUT, but When you turn the knife over 9 times out of 10 you will get a different angle, mine was off 6 Degrees from one side to the next, creating a different slant on one side than the other. To fix this you have to tighten or loosen the screws on the other side of the blade holder until you get the same degree as the other side. I know this may sound trivial to you but if you do not do this, 9 times out of 10 you will screw up the bevel of your edge on one side. FYI. ;)

The independent collar stop on vertical rod (top of vertical rod in your video) can be placed under the angle adjustment stop to be used as a stone thickness adjuster. 1) Place independent collar stop between base wing-nut and bottom of angle adjustment stop. 2) Set angle with stone in place, then remove stone and hold sandwiched between two vertical rod collar stops, tighten lower collar stop to set. 3) When moving to different stone, loosen upper stop, place new stone between those two stops and tighten upper collar stop. Sharpening angle will then be set to what it was on initial stone. Move through progression of stones during sharpening and sharpening angle with be consistent, independent of varying thickness differences of stones. Leave bottom collar stop in original location untill starting a new sharpening progression. The diagram you showed near end of video illustrated that second vertical collar stop in location I have described, but maybe the manual does not explain how to use that second collar stop as a variable stone thickness adjuster adjuster. I do this same (variable stone thickness adjustment) in my Edge Pro using a simple drill bit collar stop addition. Currently all your stones may be the same thickness (plus/minus minimal varience), however at some point you will most likely have stones of varying thicknesses that you want to use during a sharpening progression.
