MarcH, sometimes I let myself fall into the minutiae of the process as I can find it relaxing and fulfilling. But if I’m doing some older daily use kitchen knives I let it slide and ‘good enough’ will do. Thanks for all your details and information, I appreciate your clarity and persistence.

If I slide a stone onto the rod it isn’t a ‘Perfect’ fit, but rather the hole is ever so slightly larger than the rod. That slight enlargement seems to give it some back and forth. Sorry for the poor photos, but you can see the small gap depending on how I apply pressure to the stone – it has some play on the rod. Is that not normal? I had…[Read more]

Thanks for this. I just checked and mine does keep zero.

Nice to know I’m on the right track as I’ve narrowed it down to pretty much these steps. However the cube I use powers off after 1 minute or so and loses its zero. When I see high end Mitutoyo digital protractors with less advertised accuracy than the DXL360 I wonder about it.

Does a really good angle measurement device help that last bit?
I have a new 130 (after a fair bit of naniwa stones freehand) and enjoy the greater precision it affords me. I have a Tiltbox2 from Lee Valley that lists “It has a range of 90° left or right and a resolution of 0.05° (accurate to 0.2°).” I’ve read some tips on measuring how to co…[Read more]
