Jan,
Yes my sharpening tool Chef are very exact and can be adjusted down to 1/100 part of 1 degree. (An Angle Cube shows +/- 10/100 parts of 1 degree).
Chef use screws and nuts to adjust the angle. 7 full turns of the nut give 1 degree. 1/7 turn of the nut give 1/100 part of 1 degree. Chef works like a degree meassuring "instrument" and are very exact. The nuts have markings so it is easy to count turns or part of turns.
It is possible to go between two different surfaces (bevels) and hit the surfaces exact.
On my homepage can you se how I have made different bevels on two knifes, one of the knifes have three bevels, 9, 10 and 11 degrees, the other knife have five bevels, there is 0.75 degrees between the bevels, the bevels are around 1 mm wide and they are straight from the handle out ro the tip.
A third picture shows a knife where I have grinded an edge absolutley flat and then made a second bevel that is 1/100 part of 1 degree higher. I have made the scrathes diagonal in different directions so it is possible to se what I have done.
This is made with a Chef with pivot - and anyone that have a Chef can do this. No extra equipment are necesarry.
In my mind it is nice to be able ro meassuring degrees on blades with the sharpening tool. Two functions make this possible, the possibillitiy to adjust for different blade width opens the possibilitiy to attatch a protractor and that opens the possibility to allways use a fixed distance between the edge and the pivot point of 28 cm (on Chef).
