I suggest using the Angle Cube to double check the angles as well.
If you are using the side with the pre drilled holes, then you will get a very sharp edge simply due to consistency, which is more important in the beginning stages, IMO.
I have no idea how advanced the OP is, but I prefer to use the side without the holes with the angle cube as my guide because there will always be some degree of variation along the road with sharpening materials. On my stock paddles (about 1 year old), there is a slight variance between all the grits. (+/- .15 degrees) I recall using the hole side only once when I first got my WEPS. But I’m a propeller head when it comes to my guided sharpening devices B)
As for the screw – I think we’ve all not tightened it enough- I know I have done it several times :whistle: I now double check that it’s as tight as I can make it after each adjustment.
