Why does the Ken Onion Worksharp only goes to 30 degrees? The earlier version of Worksharp can do 40, 50 and 65 degrees.

The 40, 50, and 65 degree angle guides on the original Knife & Tool Sharpener refer to the total angle (20, 25 and 32.5 degrees per side). The Ken Onion Edition equivalent would be 30-70 degrees.

suggest you visit http://www.worksharptools.com/knife/sharpeners/accessories.html you will find 40 & 50deg guide attachments. beyond that (axes & such) you're going to need to bolt the unit to a hold-down, rotate the belt assy forward & freehand.

just look at the angle and that should tell you why. like trying to cut with the back of your knife . kershaw recomends 18 to 22 deg. bob r.

Don't know, mine has been put away indefinitely . Went back to sharpening by hand. A good practice to know when the light goes out

I cannot answer "why," as I didn't engineer the product, however the unit does up to 30 degrees per side. This will get you to 60 degrees inclusive which is about as high as I can think of going for any blade. It could be that the older unit listed it's angles as inclusive so, for example, if you were in the 40 degree guide, you were really sharpening to 20 degrees per side. Hope that helps.

If you're talking about an angle for scissors, there is a ledge on the left side on the main pic. below the left angle guide that looks to be about 56deg.

Because most of the better kitchen knives have a blade angle of 15 to 30 degrees

If it is 15 degrees I believe it is still able to work. 30 degrees to 40 degrees makes a knife at it's sharpest. So an answer to the the question, yes it should work

It depends on the material/substrate that you put the temperature guage on and the heat sourse used. The dial on this is extremely close to the temperature it allows, but can sometimes be 3-4 degrees off, again depending on the substrate. If you pick up an acurite digital thermometer ($12 at wallmart) and place the temperature guage right on the temperature guage of your rhetosthat, you can dial in your temp and hold it within 2 degrees. I have tried several of these, and this specific zilla product is by far the best, most accurite, and most durable one i have used. STAY AWAY FROM ZOO MED. I have had 3 different ones, and all three malfunctioned and almost killed my snakes.

The settings go from min to max. I use the Max for quilting cottons and it is very hot. It also heats up very quickly. The only drawback is that the steam holes are only on the tip of the plate.

By what I can see, the angle is very close to 30 degrees (the angle of three points comes real close to 90).......certainly closer to 30 than 23 degrees. Maybe a little less than 30, but nowhere as small as 23.....hope this helps some.....best, Rick.

Heat is the right way either by a heat gun or you can use boiling water in a wide and deep enough cup to cover just the top part of the sheath. I haven't tried this on Cold Steel's Secure-Ex sheath, but I have on countless kydex sheaths and it works great. Obviously you don't want to melt it just soften it up a bit to be able to manipulate it the way you like. May take a few dips and fittings to get it right, but this method has served me well....

I can't find any specific number of degrees like some other mfgs. I can tell you on my truck it appears to be about 120-130 degrees. I hope that helps.

Don't know. I have a wood stove and the surface it sits on is normally in the 300 to 500 degrees Fahrenheit range.

Yes, I mentioned that in my review but didn't list the temps. They are four settings, in degrees fahrenheit 310, 330, 360 & 395, listed on a little window on the handle.

I have only used it on 18 to 22 gauge wire. I found a piece of romex in my shop. It is not heated and about d degrees f right now. It did not work very well I did not think. I gave it a few tries. some attempts were better than others but did not have good consistent result. Hope this helps.

On my original review I might not have said that it does go to hundredths at a half degree. So it wii read 13.75 degrees or 13.8. With a little interpolation it is closer than I can mark with a pencil. Hope this helped. I used mine this morning measuring angle on a soffit. It's a mighty useful tool.

The lowest it gets at my house is about 30 degrees at night. Havent lost any worms in 2 years. I do add more paper in the winter though so maybe that helps. I can only assume the added paper gives them more to eat and stay warm. I also dont remove the compost until spring.

That is a great question that I never thought about! I have used mine for over a year now, on pinball machines, and really like how it works. Do not know the true temp at the point, but will definitely have to check that out.

I've used it at around 350 degrees on leather belts. It works great but you need to make sure to use tracing paper for your design because the foil will melt at high temps on direct contact

I'm not sure of the actual temperature, but I do know that it doesn't get as warm at the Ranger heating tool. While the Ranger version gets results quicker, I like the Martha Stewart tool because it is less likely to scorch the paper. Hope this helps.

According to the manufacturer instructions, it is 45 degrees. You may need to use sharpening stone or another, more sophisticated sharpener, for example, Lansky MEDGE1. It is also being sold on Amazon.com at the following link:

I use it at 350 all the time with no issue. Can't imagine 375 would be a problem, but have not used it at that temperature.
