Thank you Samuel
I really hope I didn't cause problems for Tormek! I really had no idea you were working on a similar project. If I had known, I probably wouldn't have published anything before your launch.
I do this on a hobby level. I have no intentions to produce or market and sell my product on the market. Just a couple of copies for my friends. So it's no problem for me.
You are of course welcome to take part and use everything I have shown if it is something that can improve your products. I would only be proud if I can be of use to Tormek.
It is exciting that we arrived at similar principles for our solutions. Congratulations to your development team and me. 
Regards. Per Perra

No problem at all Perra.
We really appreciate our fans and the creativity around our products.

Regards Samuel

Great minds think alike 
 
Congratulations on a fine solution Perra, very impressive and detailed work.
We need to reveal in this forum that the Tormek innovation team has developed a similar invention based on the same principles as yours. The product is patented and closing in towards launch.
 
We reveal this only with the well meaning intention to prevent someone from investing time and money into a product unable to be put to market due to IP rights.
 
Thank you Perra for your profound engagement. We feel fortunate to have such dedicated users.

Here is a link to the T1 instructions (from tormek.com)

My widest knife, a ten inch Victorinox chef's knife, measures just over  5cm, leaving almost 1cm of clearance.

Here is the link to the T2 instructions:

I find it interesting that the T1 is listed for knives up to 5mc and the T2 is only listed for knives up to 3.5 cm.

Hi Ken,

We have made an upgrade on the jig for the T-2 (wich is the same for T-1). The specs in the T-1 manual goes for new T-2-machines aswel, we will upload an updated T-2 manual shortly. Also note that the new jig comes with knife protection pads to prevent scratches. Hope you like it.
