I am a little confused....hope to get an explanation from the wise men here.
https://cockloftsoftware.weebly.com/online-calculator.html
When I use this calculator (link over here) for my T8 and a chefs knife, I put in the
Wheelsize 251,5
Projection 147,5
Angle 15
and I get
USB to casing 176,42
USB to stone 85,84.
Actually no problems in that - I adjust as good as possible and grind the knife....
but when I then try to measure the angle with the WM-200 and let it fit along the stone and upper straight side of the knife - then I get a measure of 18 degrees.
Does it have something to do with that the knife is thicker at the spine than at the bevel so it tapers a little from "top" to bottom (sharp side)?
So should I just go for the calculator and forget about the WM-200...or...?
All answers will be appreciated
