I've downloaded and studied Ton's excellent article on setting the grinding angle based on measurements of the length of the jig and distance from the support bar to the stone. No way I could come up with this. Excellent work.
Couple questions.
Fisrt. Is there a conversion of the tables to inch dimensions? If not, I can do it, but it would be nice to avoid duplication of other's work.
Second. In practice, how have folks been determining/measuring the distance "S"? The distance from the stone to the centerline of the Adjustable Clamp (AC) shaft immediately above the support shaft. The distance from the support shaft to the centerline of the AC is about 6mm (0.236"). This difference is not accounted for in the article tables, at least as far as I have can tell. 6 mm is greater than the increments in Ton's table for the "S" dimension. Do you just shift a column/row in the table? Or?
Wondering,
Rick
