Quote from: Jan on October 27, 2015, 06:49:00 PMIn summer this year we have discussed the importance of pivoting the knife when sharpening its point. See http://forum.tormek.com/index.php?topic=2562.15 (http://forum.tormek.com/index.php?topic=2562.15) At this occasion I have introduced prototype of my tool's entitled Knife Tip Point Setting Template.

The template can be downloaded/printed from the following address:

Print the image at the actual original size and check that the projection length is really 139 mm.

Responding to a post about this template, complaining that it doesn't work with the new knife jigs (KJ-'s), I created a modified template based on the shorter, fixed projection of the KJ jigs. An image of it is posted below, as is the PDF file. Both may require scaling when printing to get the dimensions accurate, but I really think it doesn't matter as the 120mm projection is the actual distance from the lips of the jaws to the fixed stop, so it is smaller than what is actually possible to use as a projection.
