Angle Master Degree Difference

I apologize if this is a stupid question but, I was wondering if anyone knows the degree difference on the angle master setting of 250mm to the middle scale of 10"?

I ask because I use 10" CBN wheels with my T8 and I am wondering if the difference between both numbers makes much of a difference in degrees also, why does the adjustable guide not point to the 10" mark?

Thanks

The Anglemaster, being a Tormek product, is calibrated to the standard 250mm Tormek grinding wheels. If the oversize difference with CBN wheels bothers you, take a millimeter reading of their diameter and make a fine sharpie line. Your guess will be close enough.

It's not stupid at all. If you play with the model here, you'll see that for a given setup (USB height set, projection distance set), the difference in angle when the stone diameter varies from 250 to 254mm is about 1 degree. So for a given position of the WM-200 on the wheel while resting on the flat of the blade, the angle read on the WM-200 should be off by the same amount.
