TSPROF Kadet Pro

Just wondering if anyone else has seen this. Apparently TSPROF has updated the Kadet with a much needed fine angle adjustment knob. They seemed to have listened to the public's singular complaint regarding the Kadet.

Saw this recently on a video they released. It looks like a great upgrade for the Kadet!

Sadly, anyone with a regular Kadet will not be able to upgrade to the Kadet Pro. The upright arm has been changed completely into a rack and pinion system, so you won't be able to upgrade a legacy Kadet to the Pro.

Yes you’re right I saw that video as well. Glad I held off on the Kadet.

There is also a new version of the Blitz - The Blitz pro, with a much nicer adjustable clamp bar than before. At least with the Blitz, it's upgradable to the Blitz Pro.

Yes again. That would have made Kadet owners much happier. Not sure why they didn’t design the Kadet like this originally. Will be interesting to see how the supply chain on tsprof products is affected by the conflict in the Ukraine

Hey, at least TSPROF improves on the design... I purchased both the K03 and the Blitz360 The upgrade PRO rail is much better.
Edge Pro and others keep selling the same crap as originally released... (change is GREAT)
I don't regret being an early adopter.
The new Kadet would have served my needs better than having both the K03 and the Blitz.
It is a great machine.

That does look like a nice upgade - thankfully I pretty much sharpen everything at the same angle so the fiddliness of the MkI Kadet isn't too much of an issue.
