Vijay,
I have some questions about the design of your shaft. I am being curious, not critical.
I have used the kenjig to set up my knives. In a nutshell, the theory behind this is to establish a common setting for the Distance between the USB and the grinding wheel. This would be set before a sharpening session with no need for readjustment.
The Projection of the knives would be set to 139mm. Others have used 140mm which works just as well. This requires at least three jigs to cover the width ranges of typical kitchen knives. the 139mm Projection was determined by the adjustability range of the SVM-45 allowing some wiggle room for wheel diameter wear.
My questions for you:
Is the adjustability range of your jig shaft such that you can establish a common setting for all knives from sal paring knives to large chef's knives? What is that millimeter setting?
Does that range allow for changes in wheel diameter and changes in bevel angles?
