Model 202 The Tri-Angle "sharpening system" ° of sharpening

[LooklikeAman]

Just wanted to ask what angle° the Model 202 is set at.

Thanks

If you mean the 204 angles are 30 and 40 degrees. :spyder:

I meant the Model 202


That's a Model 203, but it's the same setup as my 202. There's only one pair of sharpening stick holders.

40 degrees only on your model. It is easy to control with a triangle ruler or if you are much younger than I am with an app for angle measurement :D

Thank you, that's right on the Apple compass there's a 2nd screen with angle measurement. I was going to make a holder for my phone so i could measure my car's front wheel camber angle.

Just a pic I pulled off of Google, not my personal one. Member T-Dog probably did not know about the early "SINGLE" angle "Sharpening System".

I wonder how many people on this forum have the rare Blue plastic holder. Years ago I posted on GarageJournal forum I posted a pic of my Model 202 and a guy replied with a pic of a Blue holder base, he did some research and could only find 1 or 2 other pics online of another Blue base. I had at least 7 other guys post pictures of their normal black base. None of them had ever seen a Blue base model before.

My old model 202 measured more like 45* inclusive between the rods it came with. I gave it to a friend years ago after getting a 204.

The blue base 202 was only sold in Hawaii. It was an marketing experiment. Sold with blue stones. I believe we made about 500 of them.

I have a 203 (like the OP's) that I'm currently using and it's dead on 20° per side.

I wasn't aware of the 202 model. Thanks for sharing :spyder:
