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
