I stopped using a T-8 about 5 years ago. At the time I had KnifeGrinders software.
It no longer loads on my i-phone and the app is no longer available in App Store.
Any thoughts?
I primarily sharpen kitchen knives
Thanks
Quote from: Boxer on September 02, 2024, 04:29:22 PMHello, 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?
Quote from: Boxer on September 02, 2024, 05:20:33 PMThanks 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.

Quote from: MerryMadMick on August 07, 2024, 06:15:39 PMHello,
Recently I picked up an SJ-250 on sale. When I first purchased it (new), it required truing and to be put into round. About a week ago I pulled it off my storage rack (12mm peg), mounted it and it was out of round again. Used the truing tool once again and got it perfectly round. Mounted it this morning and was not surprised that it was out of round again.
Is gravity to blame here?
Thanks.
Quote from: MerryMadMick on August 07, 2024, 07:30:32 PMAfter some digging about, I was told that some users determined that the mounting hole is off-centre on some of the Japanese wheels which would probably explain the issue I'm having.
I'll return it to the store.
QuoteA tip is when you mount the SJ wheel, always mount it so the label of the stone always shows "SJ-250" in level. The first time you might need to true it, but after that, it should be ok. Tighten the Ezy-lock harder by holding the honing wheel with your left hand and pull the stone towards you before you start the machine, tighten the Ezy-lock first, this also straightens the stone a little.SJ Wheel wheels rant
Quote from: JohnBb on August 06, 2024, 06:21:36 PMUS-430 is fine, but what about an US-900? With this bad boy Tormek can be used even as a sword sharpening machine![]()

Quote from: Columbo on July 31, 2024, 09:13:55 PMI truly would thank you all for taking the time to offer me some input.
I've gathered some insight with each of your responses.
One further question when you feel that the leather wheel is somewhat bulky in areas as it's spinning against the blades edge.
*How do you go about cleaning that area?
I mean, I could use the backside of my knife with slight pressure to somehow smooth out where the compound has become somewhat bulky and apply another spread out even coat again.
Truly, I like to thank you all for sharing your experience here.
Thank you Phil

What are the telltale signs that more compound may be needed to the leather
I'm also finding a difficult to do controlled honing with the same USB height measurements while using the MB-102. Naturally, because the leather wheels diameter is smaller than the 250 diamond. Is the only way to fine-tune this measurement by utilizing of the computer Knife Sharpening applications to determine usb height while control honing?
I've actually been doing it freehand and it does seem by the sounds the leather makes when in contact with the knife edge, that it sounds like I'm at the right angle. ...

Quote from: Sir Amwell on July 28, 2024, 10:47:29 AMApologies in advance for going over old ground but I think worth revisiting.
The introduction of the KS123 has highlighted the old topic of the slight movement of the USB when locking it in place with the nuts on the sleeve housing. Not talking backlash here. Neither am I referring to the need to push down on the USB above the micro adjust when locking to minimise movement. That movement is still there and it's no longer a suspicion as you can see the pointer move on the scale of the KS123 if you check after locking down.
Does this matter?
I think it does.
There are issues with accuracy and consistency with this.
Some will say not enough to affect things overly much but if I'm going to hone a knife at +1.5 degrees from the original grinding angle to remove a bur and then at exact to clean up, a discrepancy of +/- half a degree ( sometimes more) is going to matter. To me anyway.
So any thoughts on this?
Any work arounds?
As a slight aside. I think the movement caused by locking (as the end of the screw engages with the leg of the USB in the sleeve) is not so much up and down as side to side? Hence it's the projection distance being affected rather than the height of the USB. If that makes sense.
Right. That's my Sunday morning issue put out there. I'm back to the workshop to dream of a perfect world........

The angle measured is the per side angle? And as such you can't use it if you want to put an angle of less than 16 degrees on a knife.
Aus Sn, do you actually sharpen knives with these bevel angles? If so, then a workaround is needed and is not a difficult problem. If not, then the question is theoretical. What kind of problem do we have?

Quote from: 3D Anvil on July 27, 2024, 06:39:47 AMI would think that the knife jig would hit the stone at under 8° per side, but then I've never tried it.
Quote from: Ken S on July 25, 2024, 10:50:32 AM...
How does this relate to the 15° leather knife and the KS-123? Note the umber of microadjust turns and fractional turns to move one degree on the scale. Set the setting tool for 16° and remove it. Then adjust the microadjust by the predetermined number of turns.

Sorry for such a basic question.
