Post by Bluecat »

Any experiences or thoughts about using the angle guides to set the initial bevel for the edge pro.

To take full advantage of the precision and repeatability that the EP provides, I would recommend using the Angle Cube to set the angles.

I’ve used the inclinometer in my iPhone, works well enough.

I've used both the angle cube and my iPhone5 (plus the free "clinometer" app) and I prefer the iPhone + clinometer app.

Just as an aside if you are looking for absolute accuracy, you need to use a consistent set-up process and also adjust for basically the thickness of the blade and / or how it sits on the blade table plus a couple of other things.

As a final check I usually put Sharpee on the edge and do a very, very light, dry stroke or two with the proposed stone, check using a Loupé & then adjust as required & re-check.

This set-up stuff can be a whole rabbit hole in it's own right :roll:
