ref free hand

[bobl]

Hi, its Bob The Knife Grinder.
I liked the idea of the home made improvised jig from the scissor jig for free hand work.
Would this same free hand be able to work using the SVD - 110 jig that is available, ( Although it is made for a different job )
But if it works?
Ken, what do you think?

Not nearly as well. The platform is too far from the bore for the universal support bar.

I agree with Herman. I have worked with the SVD-110 (made two jigs with it) and have learned that the scissors jig is better designed for this work.

I was wondering, as I couldn't find any reference to it in here: Has anyone considered making some kind of customized sliding plate for the DBS-22 with the idea of sharpening small knives in mind ? I was thinking of a reusing the existing plate without the drill jig, or a couple of 3D printed parts that would slide inside the baseplate grooves, and locking nuts on top to accomodate for varying distance to the stone ?

The idea being to be able to rest/clamp the knife on the sliding plate to avoid scratches...

I'm not sure if I understand the concept correctly - I can see a possible application for exclusively straight blades.
But it would prevent pivoting and at least complicate lifting, wouldn't it?
