Thank you Jan, I got the same numbers for the heights so am reassured I am now using the calculator correctly. Thank you for making this available!

Ken, PLEASE do not tell my husband I could have just had my old grinder repaired!

Ken, yes I attended the seminar with Glenn and Nick and was able to take the hands on classes with both which started my interest in the Tormek. Nick also stayed at our home for a week after the classes. It was hard to justify the cost of the tormek at the time because I had invested in CBN wheels for my bench grinder. Fast forward to this summer when I managed to launch the grinder (while running) onto the floor, bending the arbor 😫.  And yes, I do know Mike!

I have not watched the Tormek video but will be sure to do so! I have watched Glenn's sharpening video a few times.

Ken, I like the idea of using the TTS for the usb height. I was using it for the chisel projection length but like your idea better. I could make a little block jig for the correct projection just as easily, if not more so, than a block for the height. I like having the constants for repeatability. Now to go find the usb height in TTS position B! I had hoped to use position A because that is where I will mostly be setting it (I am mostly a Woodturner), but I think it would be too high for the chisels.

Thanks again,
Heather

Thanks so much! I swear I did that 20 times but had probably messed up something along the way so downloaded the original program again and started over just in the green boxes. Now got 36.78mm. Sound right?

Hello, new to Tormek and the forum. I was wondering if there is a tutorial on using the Tormek Calc2 program. I am wanting to make a Kenjig type of block for sharpening chisels to 25deg and am getting some weird USB heights when I put in my numbers. I am using a SE-77 jig with 55mm projection, new T8 with standard wheel. I know I am doing something wrong. Rough setting measurement is around 37mm but the calculated number is 12.22. This looks like such a great calculator and I would like to learn to use it correctly. 

Thanks!
