I'm fairly new to knife making, and something that i have really appreciated is the support that the knife community is willing to offer. It's kinda unparalleled, most forums and groups nowadays are hit or miss with rude or unhelpful people, but in knife making it seems everyone is genuinely happy to help. So i wanted to give back in whatever way i could.
I created this excel spreadsheet for the OCD knife makers who want to find the exact grind angle to get the perfect bevel in varying thickness or width steel. the idea is that if you want your grind to start and end in an exact spot on the face of the blade, this worksheet will help you accomplish that. This is mainly for platen work, ill have to do some more math to work out hollow grinds. Overall, I'm sure this could use more refinement and will be a work in progress, but i hope it helps people in the meantime.
I've locked everything in the sheet except the rows that you need to plug numbers in. This was just so nobody accidentally changed the equations or something. But if you want an unlocked copy just ask me. Also, if you dont have excel, try Calc by openoffice, its free and very comparable.

Ok, I'm a bit ignorant to the ways of sharing and all that on the internet. I just saved the Sheet of my google drive and shared it here. Let me know if there are any issues.
Quick note/edit: I've noticed this doesn't work so well on phones, anyone know of a decent app for working with spreadsheets?
