Yes, completely agree, the lack of the ability to set the projection distance with the KJ jig is significantly more time consuming and a big mistake.

Amusing 
I added a link in my first post of this topic:
"Finally, Benjamin has posted an extensive and amusing explanation  ..."

['20230505']

Under the date header '20230505', I added info, including URLs, about Benjamin's graphics in my topic "Simple adjustment ..."

I'll remove the link couple of days later

Hello Benjamin
Congratulations on your simulation of my angle setting formula.
I didn't understand your post, probably because I'm not familiar with 'GeoGebra'.
However, your explanation and the diagram in the new link gave the clarity I was missing.
You are right that it might explain a lot to new users especially regarding reference points. That's why I would be sorry if you removed the link. I would like you to add the link with some explanation as 'reply' to my topic, the link of which you will find in my 'signature',
Thanks in advance for your effort.

that function is built into the tool.

and that's an additional feature that Tormek's new angle-adjuster lacks 

It helps if you describe what the use is and how you use it.

Now that the new anglesetter has been mentioned by Samuel from Tormek and the drawing in the patent application has been shown by cbwx34, I feel free to stop keeping my test report a secret.
At the request of Tormek's CEO, I tested the new design of an angle-setter in December 2022 and wrote the attached report.

Nice piece of equipment. Handy to use, without additional resources such as computers and software.
Nice documentation too. Congratulations.

Can't you use the normal USB if you rotate it 180°, or am I missing the point?

[If the stones have the same diameter AND the distance from the USB to the stone is the same in both cases then the grinding angle should be the same in both cases.]

I use my Tormek SuperGrind 2000 with the SVD186 and a diamond wheel ...

I recently puchased an 8" set of CBN wheels mounted on a slow-speed grinder

I assume the diamond-stone on the Supergrind-2000 has a diameter of 250mm.
On the other hand, the diameter of the stone on the slowspeed-grinder is mentioned to be 8".
Then you will have to adjust the distance from the USB to the stone to get the same grinding angle.

If the stones have the same diameter AND the distance from the USB to the stone is the same in both cases then the grinding angle should be the same in both cases.

 It simplifies measuring.

... and it reduces tolerances 

I have some indirect evidence as to why this occurred.  Until I get the needed evidence to prove or disprove it

Do not sharpen your knives in this condition. You could hurt yourself!

KJ-jig with adjustable stop?

...
 why would one proceed with other knives before correcting the situation?
I do not intend to sound critical.

You are very mild in your response.

And it runs on my system without any Microsoft gew-gaws.

Hihi, I learned a new word: 'gewgaws'. I googled the meaning: "... They're not valuable or useful." Typical for many controls in Microsoft's products.
