Here are some shots from my microscope.
I hope they are satisfactory for the purpose. (RESIZE)

It being understood that it is always an economic microscope.
I can assure you that his "dirty" job does.
Maybe I was lucky but I have not encountered major problems, there are two models, one with a rechargeable battery and one without a battery.
If I can, soon, I'll post exhaustive photos of the various degrees of resolution of the images.
There are many videos about it on YouTube used for other application methodologies but they give valuable help.

Sorry, but from the photo I don't understand what problem you want to point out,
Unfortunately I am unable to post a photo of myself.

No worries, a few people have commented that the stand isnt bolted square so the microscope isnt square to the object, the picture is the knuckle joint where the microscope connects to the base, its clearly drilled badly.

I have not encountered any "relevant" problems,
I just added a circular light to improve the brightness.
Of course it still remains a cheap microscope, but it does its job.

I have tried to use portable microscopes, but they have difficulty keeping the various blades in focus. Lately I have been using a microscope, for me, very valid at a cheap price that can be purchased on Chinese sites. It could be a good solution.

I agree perfectly with your thinking.
The availability of Tormek is as impeccable as that of Vadim and you will surely also find a lot of availability among the various members of the forum.

Pete, welcome to the forum.

See this video starting at about six minutes sanding the leather honing wheel is discussed.

Already tried! works very well with 180 grit
Test

Good job! finally a clamp that should solve the age-old problem of edge symmetry.
Compliments.

Van,
The constraint with cleavers is not the jig. The problem is that the legs of the US-105 support bar are not tall enough for cleavers. The US-430 handles both longer knives and cleavers. It serves well as a second support bar for knife sharpeners.

Ken

Sure! I was not referring to the US430 bar or similar, but to the measuring instrument built by Hanns

Good job!
I hope it has a range of application to suit any type of knife, from the smallest to the cleaver

Hello,

I saw the 2nd video made by Tormek, in the final part of the video we talked about the convexity related to the sharpening of an ax. Perhaps that method could also be applied to a convex forge knife.

Thanks jvh,
always available with clear and exhaustive technical explanations.

Good morning,
before writing I did some research on our site but found nothing about it.
My question is: on Tormek T7 or T8 is it possible to sharpen a knife that has a construction with a convex profile? Without altering the structure of the knife during the sharpening phase. By convex profile I mean that from the edge to the bevel the sides are forged in a convex manner. (Normally the knives are flat or concave profile)
Thank you
