Tormek Knife Grinders Formula Issue...

[NorCalQ]

I just plugged in my numbers for my Supergrind 2005...the green one. I did my grind and checked the angle on my TSProf K03. I tried for 16*, but ended up at 17.5*. What did I do wrong?

Too specific of a question, email Knife Grinders.

Took your advice and emailed KG. They told me there is no formula for the Supergrind 2005.

... They told me there is no formula for the Supergrind 2005.

I know you found this out already in the Tormek forum, but for others, a calculator that gives the answer that sets the angle by measuring directly to the wheel will work with any model, for example this free calculator created by Tormek forum member "freejack"...
