Hi, I use a GRS power hone to sharpen my gravers. When doing the 2.5 degree relief cut my holding fixture (GRS) will not go low enough to accomplish the task, usualy hitting bottom before the graver hits the wheel. I found that The Woodworkers store is selling small black granite surface plates from China for about 25 bucks. Now they are not machine shop quality but are certanly flat to about .001 inch.
I set up a surface plate next to and level with my Power Hone. It sit about 4 inches below the Power hones surface. With this setup working from the surface plate to the Power hone I can get any angle no matter how shallow with ease, and with no chance of interference.
This may be old hat to some and a help to others. I hope it solves a problem for someone.
