Guided system which can achieve 15 dps (or less) on very small blades?

Gentlemen, this is all good information and maybe the answer is to reconcile myself to the notion of a more obtuse angle on the very small blades.

But, I'm not there yet. So back to the question in my original post: Is there a guided system, apart from the WEPS + attachments, which can do 15 dps (or less) on the very small blades?

Thanks,

Andrew

This was my concern with the KME system, but I saw that you could invert the guided bearing piece, and this gives you lower than 17* angles. I went ahead and ordered it today because of this.

Heres a video that shows it as well.

It's interesting, but not really applicable in the context of Andrew's situation with blade widths down to ~1/4" or so. Inverting the guided bearing piece on that KME clamp allows the rearward end of the hone to be set lower, for a lower angle on relatively wide blades which give enough width forward of the clamp to accommodate it. This would be the equivalent of drilling a new guide hole at a lower position on the vertical guide portion of the Lansky clamp. However, drilling that lower guide hole won't correct an issue of the forward end of the hone colliding with the forward tip of the clamp at low angles, which is what's happening with the Lansky as used at the lowest angle setting with very narrow blades (MUCH, MUCH narrower than the 1" wide tactical-style or wider kitchen blades demo'd in the video). With a narrow blade's edge so near to the clamp's jaws, the forward end of the clamp gets in the way, and the hone overshoots the blade edge without touching it.
