Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has had any expirence trying to retrofit some sort of DiY stone thickness compensator with the K03?

Despite being the more expensive model, it seems the K03 doesn't have one.

I have heard someone use a drill stop collar on another system, as well as someone else who used 3d printed parts.

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions?
 
If you have a K03 with an extended angle lifter, then you already have an area you can use as a stone thickness compensator. Use the space between the sliding lifter rod and the top of the geared rack & pinion assembly of the angle adjuster.

If you want a bigger area, then you can install the stone thickness compensator that Gritomatic sells for the K03 Pro series. Link below.

 
Thank you I really appreciate that advice.

I will have a look at the 10mm limiters. Just to clarify, by the top of the assembly did you mean this area?

I will also get an angle cube to check things and set angles. It's there a significant difference in accuracy for different models? I've heard the Axicube is good, but it is about triple the price of alternatives. Which is the angle cube that's recommended?

Many thanks for the advice,

Yes, that's the location.

You can use any digital angle cube. If it's not an Axicube, then just make sure not to slant or angle the cube or the reading will be inaccurate. An Axicube will read correctly when slanted or rotated a bit but a regular angle cube needs to be perpendicular to your knife and not slanted.
