I just received the SVM-00 to use with my SVM-45. When I mount a knife and select any sharpening angle (for example 25 degrees), there isn't enough clearance and the SVM-45 contacts the wheel. I tried changing the handle length on the SVM-45 but there still is not enough clearance. Did I miss something?

Here is a link to a video on how to use the SVM-00. Hopefully it helps you with your issue.

You may need to thin away ends of the SVM-45, especially if it is the older version, they are not as slim as the last edition.
