-Place the knife straight across the BLADE TABLE.
-Set the PIVOT, and start to sharpen the main part of the edge.
-Use a felt marker to check the angle not the front bevel. Often it is much steeper than the main bevel.
-However, if it is close, it will raise the PIVOT just enough to be able to sharpen the front bevel.
-You should be able to do the whole blade at the same angle. If not, you will have to reset for the front bevel. If you can sharpen the front bevel without moving the knife. If the blade is too short to do this, then you can angle the knife across the corner of the KNIFE GUIDE with the front bevel just over the front edge of the BLADE TABLE.
-The alternative is to use a RISER BLOCK so you can sharpen both edges without moving the blade.
