Front Vertical Base (FVB) is designed for controlled-angle honing on the leather wheel and may also be used for edge-trailing knife and cleaver sharpening.

Note: This is not a Tormek part. It may be bought or made by user.

New forum member here. Thanks for this. I was reading one of Ken's posts and was totally lost in the acronyms. This will help. I have had my T-4 for perhaps 10 years and have used it once. I have decided to turn more and I need to invest more time and effort in learning how to use this system. The manuals are extremely well written but remain OVERWHELMING. The learning curve is steep. I look forward to lots of reading.

I don't know what jigs you own but I advise that you start by sharpening a chisel or an older knife following the videos and manual for guidance. In total the system appears a bit overwhelming but taken a piece at a time it is not so daunting. Also I advise against going down the rabbit hole of ultra sharpness until you have mastered the stock system. With the standard wheel and honing wheel you can sharpen knives well beyond their initial factory sharpness.

Also don't hesitate to ask questions. Sometimes hearing an answer from a different viewpoint will make things clearer.
