So this is a link to some pics I took.

I put the knife into the jig as i normally would and turned the first screw followed by the black one (took care not to over tighten anything)

I took a look at the jig and noticed that it was not parallel.

Steel thickness is 5/32 and the blade is 3.5" in length

Wonder if this may be causing the issue.

Hello all,

I am a knife maker and I use my tormek to put the edge on my knives.

I have recently run into an issue when using my kJ 45 jig.

When I set the angle on one side of the knife and then flip the knife over to check the other side the angle is off, typically showing that I am at too shallow of an angle and need to adjust the support higher.

To correct this issue is it a matter of playing around with the kj 45 tightening nobs until the angle is the same on both sides?

Any help would be much appreciated
