Tormek KS-123 Angle Adjuster for Knives

If you own a Tormek....or even if you own a "lesser model look-alike", this is THE MUST HAVE jig....greater than all others which pre-date it. Specifically, if you use more than one stone....and, the wearing diameter of the various stones become different. Which, if it is a fragmenting material, i.e. the Tormek Original stone and the Japanese wetstone, this jig will allow you the flexibility to PRECISELY jump from one diameter stone to the other...as you go from a courser grit to a finer grit...and land on EXACTLY the same griding angle. Meaning, you will truly be working the apex edge to a finer and finer finish (on your burr removals), creating the most precise sharpening experience possible with your Tormek or other. Before this jig was invented, I had super trouble going from "stone to stone" and not maintaining that "exact, precise" grinding angle between the two....essentially, I was always sub-griding another micro-bevel angle, and results were not as I wanted. BUT NOW....with this simple little jig, that consistency from "stone to stone" at different diameters is GONE FOREVER. My results have been RAZOR, RAZOR sharp!!! Tomato skin stands NO chance with even the slightest pressure!!! This would also work if going from a 10" diameter diamond stone to an 8" honing strop wheel, or something similar. The jig "does all the math" for you! I cannot believe for all the years the Tormek system has been around, that this simple tool has not been created!!! Much, much more precision accomplished than with their "WM-200" template....which comes with the machine....NO COMPARISON in results! You will LOVE your process so much more with your machine and your knives! It truly makes amazing results simple to accomplish.

This tool takes some of the guesswork out of finding the proper angle to grind on the Tormek. I’m not a professional sharpener and it might be several months between uses on the Tormek. It’s nice to have a cheat to get the tool rest at the correct height without too much guessing.

Much easier than the old tool to set angle

Error proof perfection for setting up.

Just about the handiest Tormek attachment

The product works great. The device is a little pricey in my opinion but you get what you pay for.... I guess

This setting device allows the sharpening of an entire block of knives to identical angle. Then they cut with the same pressure. It also takes the guess work out of different heights of knives. Recommended.

So much easier and quicker to get your edge angle aligned on a knife than the original chisel angle guide they provide with the machine.
