I flipped the bar years ago and haven’t used the micro adjusters since. I have an allen wrench that fits the adjustment screw with a plastic screwdriver handle and sometimes use the handle to tap the adjuster along the bar. I have polished the end of the setscrew so that it doesn’t dig into the bar and mostly adjust with a pinching of the fingers action with one hand while controlling the friction with the other via the allen wrench. I find this to be much faster than the micro adjuster, but my OCD factor isn’t off the scale.

I use the microadjusts with every grit change, but my having modified my stones requires it. I use the VSTAs, so each adjustment takes only a few seconds. No angle cube except when setting the initial angle. When I do a convex bevel, I sometimes use the detents to make incremental changes, but more often I use multiple turns of the microadjust screws. When near 20 dps, each turn is about 0.32 degrees. Three turns is about 1.0 dps.
