Sorry for the convoluted sentence... I meant that all things considered, I prefer working with the calculator : Even if there is an additional workload at the beginning (entering projection distance in the calculator, and setting the TUSB distance on the calipers), the angle is so close to one previously ground that I get a burr in only a couple of strokes.

I found the KS-123 more fiddly(?) - it has more play/hysteresis than vernier calipers, so it takes longer to set up the USB height - and less precise (so a few more strokes to get a consistent  burr).

Thank you for the clear answer
I prefer the method with KS-123, but I'm happy that apparently the math-approach is still atractive  :)

I agree with Dutchman. I prefer the KS-123; however, I still have both my ipad file and several copies of Dutchman's tables. (I also still have several kenjigs, which I still believe are the fastest and most accurate method of setting knives, although I concede it is not the most versatile.)

Ken, if a kenjig is the fastest and most accurate way of setting knives, then add however many seconds are necessary to set a distance on vernier calipers, and you'll get a close second. Especially if you want to add a controlled honing, where it's just a matter of resetting the calipers.

Versatility included !
