Why the KJ-140 large centering knife jig?
- Centering of the long and flexible blades in the device, for a symmetrical and optimal result.
- 140mm long clamping jaw which stabilizes the flexible blades.
- Centering and stabilization of blade knives with converging edges.
- Additional stop device for wide knives, such as cleavers.
- Possibility of obtaining a slightly convex cutting edge by a movement between the two stop devices.
- Robust design: die-cast zinc clamping jaws and durable composite stoppers.
- Good balance: most of the weight is concentrated on the clamping jaws, which makes it possible to obtain a better balance during sharpening.
- Smooth sliding thanks to the low friction on the universal support.
- Compatible with Tormek T-4 and Tormek T-8 machines as well as older models.
Centering for symmetrical sharpening:
When you clamp your knife in the KJ-140 wide centering knife jig, the knife centers itself in the jig, regardless of its thickness or geometry. Thus, this device makes it possible to center all the knives, from the thinnest to those with a thickness of up to 10 mm. It also makes it possible to center knives whose blade tapers from the back to the cutting edge or from the guard to the tip and to obtain symmetrical sharpening on the two surfaces of the blade. A simple adjustment, a perfect result.
A wider clamping jaw for more stability:
The KJ-140 wide centering knife jig operates the same as the KJ-45 centering knife jig, but has wider clamping jaws. These 140mm wide jaws help stabilize thin blades and provide better support, for an even sharpening surface along the entire length of the blade. Of course, they can be used for larger knives, with a more robust blade, such as kitchen knives.
Please note that the KJ-140 large centering knife jig is not compatible with the SVM-00 mini knife jig and must be used with the KJ-45 centering knife jig.
Guided freedom:
The stop device of the KJ-140 wide centering knife device moves freely on the universal support, you can follow the shape of the knife while constantly keeping the universal support as a reference point. This allows you to sharpen knives with blades of different shapes, whether filleting knives, cleavers or classic kitchen knives.
