Hey I'm a new T8 user and new to the forum.
I've been having a hard time feeling precise with my brand new and expensive machine, I already made my own FVB, after watching videos from Knife Grinders on YouTube.
That yielded much better results, from simply being able to hone at a guided angle.
However I found to much inconsistency in mounting and adjusting the universal support bar, simply pressing down over the adjustment knob doesn't really do the trick for me.
So I made a stainless sleeve that fits very snuck, making it easy to square up the universal support bar.
