Thanks for the input guys!  Here is what I came up with so far.

 

I contacted Kyle at WE and he sold me a riser block for my setup.  I am going to see where this puts me before ordering either the Tormek adapter or another LAA for now. I may also need to get the 12″ arms. I will update this thread with what I find out and if I need to add anything else.

 

Thanks again!

Thanks Mark!  I had to remove the thumb stud on a Mini Grip this weekend and it helped, even though I would have still gone a little steeper if I could have. I will order one of those Tormek ska for sure, now that you mention it, I’ve heard that one before.

I love that riser block idea too!  Is that just something I need to fabricate or did you find something to purchase somewhere?

 

Thanks again for your input!  I do understand what you mean about a limit on going higher and it being beneficial.  if I can put a riser block on there and still have the option of the Tormek adapter and the LAA I feel like that will really give me some good options and flexibility.

 

Thanks again!

Yeah that’s what I was wondering. Thought maybe someone has tried it

[Reid]

Yeah I know he’s busy that’s why I hesitated to ask him. I’m sure everything is symmetrical, I’m just having trouble duplicating it.

10-4!  I’ll figure it out.

Well that sounds like a pain in the ass!! Lol

I understand what you’re saying. I’ll keep playing with it.   Thanks again!

Thanks Marc that makes sense. I have definitely learned that clamping each knife is the most challenging part. But it makes sense that everyone has used certain workarounds for different knives. I guess I just need to play with it.  Maybe I’ll order that tormek jig and play with that.  I’m sure it’ll get used at some point.  Does it also happen often that one angle degree on one side doesn’t work on the other side?  Like not even close?
