5. PREPARING FOR WORK
(g. 2)
21 1
Your TSPROF Kadet Expert device has a number of features:
◆The folding rack with a hinged joint and a collapsible abrasive holder allow you to signicantly
reduce the overall dimensions of the device for easy storage and transportation.
◆The rotary mechanism with a clamp allows you to work without resetting the knife in the clamp
and keep the same angle on both sides.
◆The position of the cutting edge (hereinafter referred to as CE) remains unchanged at all stages
of work, including changing the sharpening angle and turning the clamp. This is important
for keeping the abrasive and its working stroke in the plane of the table, as well as for the
convenience of observing the process of sharpening the CE.
◆The arc stand is made of a single piece of aluminum and is integrated with a rack and pinion lift
with serrated gearing. By rotating the adjusting knob, the rotating unit moves smoothly around
the virtual center where the cutting edge of the knife is located. The locking knob, after adjusting
the desired angle, allows the rotating unit to be securely locked in place.
◆The design of the device has increased resistance to dynamic effects on the sharpening angle.
◆The design of the device has increased resistance to dynamic effects on the sharpening angle

thickness.
When using sharpening stones ofthe same thickness, leave the hinged joint in the lower position.
5.9 Abrasive holder limiter:
To prevent the sharpening stone from breaking off, set the abrasive holder with a limiter:
◆loosen the thumb screw of the limiter;
◆determine the maximum stroke of the sharpening stone so that it does not extend its plane
beyond the cutting edge of the knife along the entire length;
◆place the limiter close to the hinge unit and tighten the thumbscrew.
Despite the fact that there is a rubber damper in front of the limiter, avoid sharp impacts of the limiter
on the hinged unit.

*The precise angle depends on the distance of the knife blade relative to the
edge of the clamping jaws, the thickness of the sharpening stone together
with the blank, the use of an abrasive thickness compensator. The maximum
deviation of the table data from the actual sharpening angle when using the
abrasive thickness compensator in the upper position is 25±2 %. Moving the CE
in the jaws at a distance of 17±8 mm leads to a deviation of the scale readings
from the actual sharpening angle by 4±1%.
5.12 Using Axicube angle nder:
For a more accurate angle setting, use the Axicube digital angle nder:
◆place the angle nder on the angle nder stand (1) on the abrasive holder, with the abrasive in the
holder set against the blade of the knife (2) installed in the clamps;
◆turn it on using the button and set the readings of the device to zero by the button ;
◆without switching it off, move it to the platform of the angle nder (3) on the body of the lifting
mechanism;
◆the angle nder will show the angle of sharpening of the given side of the knife with an accuracy
of 0.1°;
◆set the sharpening angle according to step 5.11.
More about the
Axicube:
(g. 13)

*the overall sharpening angle is ndicated
Remember that you are working with a sharp knife.
Use care and caution when sharpening.
Careless sharpening can cause serious injury.
Do not leave the unit with the knife clamped unattended.
6.1 Clamping the knife:
To prevent scratches on the knife, it is recommended to tape the knife with masking tape before
sharpening:
◆position the knife in the clamps so that the longest straight section of the knife is as parallel to the
frame as possible;
◆tighten the clamp screws carefully with a screwdriver. The jaws of the clamps should t the blade
tightly, without gaps;
Do not overtighten the screws to prevent the clamp jaws from bending backwards!
(g. 14)
6.2 Selecting the sharpening angle:
Depending on the use of the knife, select the desired sharpening angle. The table below will help you
with this:

26
You can also sharpening a knife catching an existing angle. To do this you have to:
◆use a marker to paint over the knife’s secondary bevel;
◆place the abrasive in the abrasive holder;
◆run the abrasive over the painted part;
◆adjust the angle so that one movement of the abrasive erases the marker completely from the
painted area.
(g. 15)
6.3 Knife sharpening:
The general principle of sharpening is described below, which can be changed depending on the
characteristics of a particular knife:
◆sharpening is done by moving away from yourself;
◆even for roughing work, the pressure of the abrasive on the knife should be minimal;
◆select the grit size of the abrasive, depending on the task;
◆sharpening on each side is carried out before the burr occurs;
◆the presence of a burr can be checked with your nger, with a careful movement on yourself;
◆if a burr appears, move the abrasive holder to the side and place it in the parking;
◆turn the knife over as described below. During all manipulations, be sure to hold the knife by the
handle;
◆pull the lever of the rotary mechanism (1) towards you;
◆by the handle of the knife turn the frame by 180°;
◆return the lever to its original position;
◆BE ESPECIALLY CAREFUL WHEN TURNING THE KNIFE OVER!
◆repeat the sharpening on the back side of the knife;
◆sharpen step by step with abrasives of the required grit.
