Hopefully someone can help with this.

I have always used the angle calculator which I purchased off the guy who passed from Knife Grinders Australia, I think he was called Vladim? I had the app saved on two Ipads, one was lost on an update the other I cannot us as the Ipad just died, I have the program on my laptop but the program will not open now..... 😳

I need a calculator urgently with a few hrs hopefully as have knives to grind to various degrees and want them accurate. Does anyone know of a decent calculator that calculator that will work on a Mac, Iphone and Ipad please...or failing this a Windows PC as I have both.

Looking for the easiest to use as had one I bought off the Appstore which for the life of me I could never figure how to use 😳...

Thanks in advance

Quality is like buying oats.  If you want nice, clean, fresh oats, you must pay a fair price. However, if you can be satisfied with oats that have already been through the horse, that comes at a lower price.

Thank you....I have the grinds sorted but currently struggling to hone with the paper wheels using the set up that Vladim used on Knife Grinders, I have all my measurements but nothing to input them into as everything is set up for Tormek of course.

I made a version that is similar to the KG apps for those who lost access...

While I am not familiar with all of the programs, I have been very satisfied with CB's Calcapp. It is straightforward and easy to use.

You might also want to try using the marker method and the KS-123.

Calcapp is a very good alternative. But now I mostly use the KS-123 with good results.

The KS-123, Calcapp, and a Sharpie are all either low cost or no cost options. why not learn all three?
