In other words so that for the most part the blade is perfectly horizontal. Do people use a guide or jig? Just eyeball it?
Sorry, not entirely sure what you mean. If you mean parallel to the surface of the wheel then the contact with the wheel does that. In addition if the water is flowing evenly over the knife then it is contact the whole way across.
If you mean at right angles to the edge of the wheel then that is not really as critical so just eyeball it as you say.
I think you understood it better than I did...
Yeah, if you mean level across the stone... watch how the water flows over the knife.
