Afther having read about the DIY jig I must say that it will probably be the way for me. Very nice work on that Herman and thank you for sharing your solution with the rest of us:)

Though I will definitely make the HK-50, I will be happy to hear about the new SV-00. I will be watching the forum Ken for your opinion on the jig.

A couple of questions for you Herman:
When you drilled the holes in the scissorjig support plate, did you thread the holes or is there a nut connected on the backside of the jig?

Is there anything to consider when doing the placement of the holes on the jig support plate? I will probably place them about one centimeter from the top.

Last questions:) Is there anything to consider when drilling the holes in the scissorjig support plate in regards to using it with the original scissorjig holder?

Again thank you for all the replies.

Thank you very much for your replies. I thought I would get an e-mail when users responded on the thread. This is the reason of lack of responsetime. Thank you for pointing that out Herman, though I had it in mind.

I could of course do it freehand, but I really want to be able to get a precise edge angel on the item. The SVM-00 looks like just the jig I need. Unfortunately I can't find it in any danish shops. I hope it will arrive some day, hopefully soon!

I will look into the homemade jigs, but I really wanted a jig like the SVM-00. I guess I just have to wait for it to arrive in danish shops. But until it gets here I'd might have to build myself something like the HK-50.

Hi,

I've just bought the Tormek T-7 and the HTK-705 kit. I have sharpened regular chefknives, but when it comes to my filleting knives I run into problems. I am trying to get an 15 degree bevel on each side, but instead of grinding the knife I am grinding the jig. What am I doing wrong? I am very frustrated about this since I bought this expensive machine and kit to sharpen all kinds of knives!

The two filleting knives I am having trouble with are respectively 10mm and 15mm wide. My sharpening method is as following:
1. Clamp the knife to the SVM-150 jig. I am only clamping down onto 2mm of the blade, which leaves 8 and 13mm free. I am from Denmark, and we use the metric scale:)
2. Setting up the universal support in the vertical mount, so I can stand up and look down at the knife.
3. Setting the WM-200 anglemaster to 15 degrees.
4. Now I try to set the angle on the knife resting on the universal support, but I can't do it because the jig touches the grindstone before I get to 15 degrees. What to do?

I really hope to get this problem solved!

Best regards
Nikolaj
