Thanks to tgbto. I watched videos where recognized craftsmen, including Vadim (RIP), sharpen such knives. Unfortunately, I'm not doing so well. Probably not enough experience. Therefore, I do not want to spoil good knives and I switch to Apex. I was hoping there was some trick to sharpening knives with a bolster that I don't know about yet.

Good afternoon forum participants. I am interested in sharpening knives with a guard. After all, the place next to the guard runs a shorter distance along the wheel than the rest of the blade. If you stay longer in this area or apply more pressure, then a recurve is formed. If you spend less time, then this part of the blade will not flow through.  What are the methods to avoid recursion?

Just to make sure : You still need to measure the diameter of the felt and leather wheels, with the same issues you refer to, right ?

Yes, it needs to be done.

Thank you for your support. For further verification, I still need FVB (body thickness) and F (frontal vertical base offset)

Thanks for the reply.The MB-102 can also have a fixed position that can be used as a base. For example, by pressing the bottom of the USB into the case. As for the direct measurement from the USB to the wheel, I do not want to use this solution, since there are felt and leather circles and the measurement will be incorrect, and the measuring device spoils over the abrasive wheel. I was hoping that someone had already taken these measurements and was using them in a calculator.

Hello, I started using the program. Many thanks to its author. A question arose. What are the numbers (Variable length HF - Frontal vertical base [mm]
Constant VF - Frontal vertical base [mm])
must be installed when using Tormek MB-102 as an FVB?
