I've watched tons of videos of Wootz removing and changing wheels. He daintily graps the nut with 2 fingers, spins the wheel, and it's off. I *must* be doing this all wrong. When I put the wheel back on, I'm careful not to over tighten it. However, when I try to remove it, it requires a pipe wrench to grasp the nut. Today, even the pipe wrench is failing me. <--Noob. Can you guys tell me what I'm doing wrong? Do I need to grease the threads with something? Vaseline?

Knife Sharpening / FVB applet trouble
September 15, 2019, 03:02:51 AM
Hi, guys. I am a very green noob with a T8 and the FVB. Using the software that came with the FVB, the first attempt ground my jig very well. But didn't touch the knife blade. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Seems like hundreds of you use and appreciate the FVB software. But I am super stuck. My wheel is 249.5mm. Blade projection is 132mm, desired DPS are 12. And it tells me the height of the USB should be 76.52. But this is not high enough for the jig to clear the sharpening wheel. I did my measurements with a large digital caliper, just like the one in Wootz's videos. I checked the blade projection with a ruler nailed to a piece of wood, like Wootz. But still, something is badly off. Got any ideas?
