Tim: Good information

Another thing to look at when figuring all these angles is the inherant slop transferred the main fixture by the vertical rod, which may or may not be the right size.

It can add or subtract a degree or two depending on which way force is applied when holding the fixture.

I dont have one of the newest ones, but Steve replaced the shaft on my dual angle fixture because it was undersized and so loose there was no way to replicate a grind with any accuracy that it was maddening. Another issue was that the jaws were not lined up properly and it took a bit of adjustment with a small sledge hammer to get things squared up to 90 degrees.

Joys of being an engraver!!!
