Wow, that's a tad judgmental. There are very good apps out there, and the KS-123 has significant hysteresis. Surely there is room for people who already own vernier calipers and are fine with using apps/spreadsheets ? Why the condescension ?

That is not condescension, but admiration for all the work that went into it. However, I thought I had developed a simple method, but it grew into a competition for the most sophisticated spreadsheet. An exception was the app by cbwx34, simple and accurate.

...
As an update, with the advent of the KS-123, I no longer use the kenjig. In my opinion, the kenjig was a sound idea. I feel the same way about the various apps. I just believe that the KS-123 is an improvement, whether we choose to vary angles or stick with our "go to" standards.
...

I completely agree with you, Ken. The "simple method" with the Cosine Formula has now been replaced by the KS-123, which has halted the growth of computer programs and all communication about it.

What a relief, more focus on the real work.

Where can we buy it?

Tormek has a Round Blade Sharpening Attachment:https://tormek.com/en/products/culinary/culinary-accessories/rbs-140-round-blade-sharpening-attachment

Hmmm... The platform jig is not included!

$280 makes it less attractive

Everything is clear, no more problems. New developments are still pending.

295€ in France...

The company is located in Ciney, Belgium.

The SJ-250 is now priced at €342 in the Netherlands.

Now we know enough about possible misunderstandings regarding capacitors.
Thank you.

Thank you for the clear answer
I prefer the method with KS-123, but I'm happy that apparently the math-approach is still atractive 

I don't understand that text.
What do you find the most convenient?
Setting the sharpening angle using software or with the KS-123?

  As the designer of the math behind the software, I can afford that imho 

snip ...
once you make the leap to ... the new Tormek angle tool, you will realise just how simple and efficient they are to use ...

Correct! The software period for setting the grinding angle was an era that could be concluded with the KS-123, which improved the setting of the grinding angle in a faster way.

From the first use I also had problems with the anglemaster. Clumsy and inaccurate.
Therefore, I designed a simple and accurate method to set the angle, based on measurement of distances.
See https://forum.tormek.com/index.php/topic,1849.0.html
Various spreadsheets were then developed, based on that method.
However, Tormek has finally responded with the development of a new angle adjuster, the KS-123.
