For anyone in the Portland, Oregon area, Woodcrafters, in NE Portland, have a couple more of these jigs in stock. I picked one up and cancelled my order with Sharpening Supplies (They said they were going to ship sometime next week.)

- US-105 = 305mm
- US-103 = 295mm
As noted, the US-103 is 10mm shorter to accommodate the 200mm grindstone which is 10mm thinner than the 250mm grindstone.

This video demonstrates how to get low BESS readings using standard Tormek equipment.

Please note at just after 1:15 the targeted bevel angle setting used on the applet, 10 degrees. (10 degrees per side). What bevel angle are you using when you sharpen?

If it is in the sharpening, one thing you might try, instead of changing the sharpening angle, adjust the honing angle a bit higher, and see if makes a difference.
Quote from: Ken S on May 06, 2024, 08:00:22 AMI agree withRick about the importance of honing. I would also recommend the MB-100.

Noted Rich: TTS-100 on order. Cost of my board? Nil. Cost of a 3D printer? No contest.

Did you have success using the (eight inch diameter) 46 or 80 grit Norton 3X wheels (wet) or the (ten inch diameter) 46 grit wheel (also used wet) with the DBS-22? Granted, they are not as fast as a high speed dry grinder; however they do not produce loose grinding dust to ruin your jig.

You should sent your question to support (support@tormek.se).
One question I have is about the choice of grinding wheels. This seems like a good use for CBN wheels. Diamond and CBN wheels run cooler than conventional wheels. I mention CBN because they are available in 80 grit. As a general rule, coarser wheels run cooler than conventional wheels.
On the plus side for diamond wheels, they are built on steel frames. There are some CBN wheels with steel frames.
