Can someone expand on the use of the diamond plate in the video. 

Was the diamond plate used in place of the TT-50 truing tool?  Or, was the diamond plate being used to dress the wheel instead of the SP-650 dressing stone?  Even after watching that section of the video several times I am unclear on which function the diamond plate was used for.

Ken S, thanks for the suggestion to sharpen to 15 degrees.  The knives ending up sharp.  A good first sharpening.  Wife was more supportive of the purchase after using the knives for Christmas.

Have not tried the jig, but that is next. 

John.jcb thanks for the link to the article. 

I have a motley assortment of 20 year old European Chef Knives (Wustohof, Henckels, etc) that I have always sharpened with a stone (poorly) which is why I now have a Tormek.  Whatever the original bevel angle on each knife it is now long gone.  From a practical standpoint is there any reason why I should not pick a single bevel angle (say 19 degrees) and sharpen all the knives to that angle.

Thanks in advance.
