DIY: Wooden measuring block for the VSM-45

[WimSpi]

Hello,
I have made a measuring block for the correct measurement of a knife, in combination with the Tormek SVM-45.
I refer to the one used by Wootz for its use and function.

It is made of 18 mm birch plywood. The essence is that I mounted two measuring rulers, so you don't have to scrape a rabbet. from the top sliding block, or from the bottom plate, where the measuring ruler lies.

On the upper block I have mounted two aluminum strips, so that this block is nicely parallel and therefore excact 90 degrees. With a bolt and nut the block is tightened.

I made it myself from leftover pieces, but it is easier to have everything cut to size in one go with a circular saw. That is more accurate and faster if you have no experience with woodworking.

I hope my translation is clear.
