I ordered mine the day it released! For me it was a game changer, especially because i like to do controlled angle honing. It makes going from the wheel to the hone seamless and I have been getting results around 80 grams consistently!

Thank you Paul! Thanks to axman in Canada for getting us a few of these after SS sold out. Even a day quicker shipping to SoCal, than from the cheese state😎

Just got mine yesterday and I'm loving it, too. Not sure if it's quicker or more accurate than the calculator/caliper method I've been using until now, but it never hurts to have more tools in the toolbox.

Good stuff. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍👏👏🇺🇲

Thank you Paul!

You can measure the diameters of the two waterstones, divide by two so that you now have the radius. subtract the Japanese water stone from your other water stone and that is your offset for the height change of your holder. You can verify that you are good by putting the angle jig on and verifying you are still touching at three points on the Japanese waterstone setup.

I’ll buy your old WM-200. I love ‘em! Super fast and work perfectly.

No i still need it for wood tools it’s great for chisels

Nice! Waiting to get one. Now would that fit on the Wen? Also what about on a belt sander laying down for example the buck tool 2 by 42?

Received my angle setter KS-123 last week and loving it.

Great to hear this is going to help me speed things up for my Tormeks process that’s for sure I love now have a way to get such precision settings on them👍

Thanks for the video. Perfect timing. Just received my new angle setter.

Yes it’s nice to see them recognize that this is a great knife sharpener but we needed a better angle setter for awhile and now we have it 👍

Looks good, I was trying to come up with something similar for my off brand machine. However, I don’t think a sample size of one proves that the problem with the Japanese Water stone dulling edges are cured. I’d be interested to see if it does work with a larger sample size.

wunnerful

I just received mine. The bevels are still uneven. Have you addressed this somewhere?

Very nice👍

Great review 🙂 I have a question: I noticed that you have more of a swinging movement when you reach the tip of the knife. I have seen on other videos that the knife should be lifted outward from the wheel in a radial direction relative to the wheel. What is your take on this?

Not sure what you mean by swing I lift the handle up if you swing out you will have a wider bevel at the tip you can tip out a little but it should be very small amount

@@ALXSHARPEN Yes, that is exactly what I thought, because I lift straight up as well to avoid the wider bevel… I must be the camera angle that tricks me 🙂

@@canasta84 probably I often get people asking if I'm stropping edge leading because it looks that way on the camera when its running edge trailing but the frame rate of the camera make it look opposite for some reason so they send me things saying don't you say alway edge trail for stropping and I say yes and the say it look like it going edge leading and i say trust me it's not it's just the camera angle and frame rate

Thanks for informative video. I'm guessing that this jig also negates having to check the diameter of consumable wheels before using the WM 200-I personally find that a PITA. Definitely putting the KS 123 on my wish list. BTW, noticing the Canadian flag in the background, is that a shout out to your Cdn subscribers or is there another connection? Cheers, Kire

My Father and Grandfather were born in Canada my Grandmom was from France and married my Grandfather moved to Canada after WWII had my father. His dad passed away when he was young so my Grandmother moved to Fall River ,MA because we had relatives there too. My father and Grandmom became American Citizens, but my Dad always had a love for Canada, Hockey and had many cousins, aunts and uncles in Matane Canada

Paul when you went to the Japanese stone you failed to set the distance of the knife blade as required. If the stone is a different diameter to the first stones you will not be getting a true 15° angle. Is that correct.?

@ALXSHARPEN

I will check but I want to say no once you set the blade measurement that doesn’t change you just adjust for angle on all the following stones. It shouldn’t change and should only need to be set once but I will check it to be sure I am correct.

I checked and I did it correctly once you set the protrusion of the knife on your first stone you don’t need to do it again it just the measurement of the jig to the apex that doesn’t change and also why it make changing wheels fast.
