Title: US-430 height
Post by: Aerojunkie on June 01, 2025, 11:31:01 PM
Hello all. New user getting started with a quick question please. What is the maximum height above the stone on a supergrind 2000 using the US 430? I have used the standard usb with an assortment of smaller blades and had good success but I have a few wide knives(smaller cleavers) that I want to sharpen. The standard usb doesn't have enough height and before spending the cash I would like to know if its gonna work. I use and app for setting the angles so I just need the max height from the 10" wheel to the top of the usb to find out what the limits are. Thank you in advance.

Normal USB measured from underside of the bar to the end of the threaded part = 146mm
US 430 = 200mm

Welcome to the forum, Michael.

I suggest you purchase your US-430 from a dealer which offers freereturns within thirty days. That will give you a hands on test to verify thatyour cleaver will work with it.
