Threaded Rubber Feet
Locate the four ‘Rubber Feet’ (C), remove one nut from each
of the threaded feet and place aside. Slot each threaded foot
through the four pre-drilled holes to each corner of the unit’s
base. Replace the nuts, stand the unit upright and adjust each
foot in turn until the machine is level, see fig 01-02.

Rotate the lever (2) to the side of the platen, see fig 06-07.
Press down the lever to release the belt tension, see fig 08.
There are two options that can be fitted to the ‘Platen’.
• The ‘Platen’ on its own
• The ‘Graphite Pad’ which is included
For most applications we recommend the fitting of the graphite
pad ,the graphite pad has a self adhesive backing and is stuck
directly onto the front face of the platen.
The graphite pad helps reduce friction between the abrasive
belt and the platen,it also helps with smoother grinding as has
a slight cushion effect between the item being sharpened and
the abrasive belt.
There may be some applications where a more rigid grind is
needed and would recommend to use the platen with no pad
fitted.
Fitting the Graphite Pad
Locate the ‘Graphite Pad’, (D) and peel off the adhesive backing.
Position the pad down onto the platen and press firmly down,
see fig 10-11-12.

There is very little mechanical maintenance that can be carried
out on the machine, keep the machine clean.
1. Remove the belt plate and check there is no dust or resin
build up on the pulleys or at the edges of the platen.
2. Remove all dust deposits and clean the motor using an ‘M’
Class Vaccum Cleaner.
3. Remove the dust extraction hose and check any build up
of deposits inside the hose and extraction outlet.

‘ZERO’ on the display. If adjustment is required, lightly loosen the
four Hex screws and adjust the support bar until the ‘Bar’ is in line
with the platen, nip up the Hex screws to secure the assembly .

Alternatively place a 90˚ square on the bar and check its in line
with the edge of the platen and make adjustments accordantly.

Ultimate Edge Angle Gauge
The ‘ Angle Gauge ’ tool is a quick and easy way to accurately set
the correct clearence between the platen and the support bar.
The gauge has five preset stops from 20˚ to 40˚ degrees.
The gauge also incorporates a 25mm projection stop to set the
correct projection of the chisel out from the ‘Honing Guide’
assembly.

ULTIMATE EDGE ACCESSORIES
Axminster Honing Guide Assembly (code 105281)
The Ultimate Edge Honing Guide is perfect for plane blades,
joinery chisels etc. This fits onto the round bar which is part of
the Support Bar Assembly. Clamping the blade tightly, both
primary and secondary bevels can be achieved if required. The
whole jig is manufactured from stainless steel and has a simple
setting screw to control the width. The LH jaw is reversible
and has twin jaws, one curved so that chisels that do not have
perfectly parallel sides (such as Japanese and old hand forged
chisels) can be clamped, the other jaw being parallel. The jaws
are dovetailed, so securely clamp the tools against the body.
The jaws accommodate blades from 3-66mm in width. A setting
gauge is provided to enable the correct sharpening angle to
be set based upon a standard projection of the cutting tool at
25mm from the guide.
Universal Edge Gauge Setting (code 103730)
As with all accurate sharpening, it’s all about the angles and
our 18 piece set gives all angles from 90° through to 5°. The
set is perfect for setting up sharpening guides as well as
checking ground angles. The UJK level box is an additional
useful accessory for the Ultimate Edge, its ability to record
and set angles is perfect for this application.
Angle Gauge Set In Wallet 5-90 Deg
Ultimate Edge Micro Bevel Gauge (code 105427)
Having ground the primary bevel on any tool the secondary
bevel or micro bevel actually does the majority of the work.
It is exactly what it says it is; a micro bevel which can be
increased with ease each time the tool becomes dull. The
micro bevel guide is made of stainless steel and aluminium
and has the ability to accept the tool still mounted in the
honing guide. The precise angle of the micro bevel can be
easily set and with a few positive passes over a fine diamond
or waterstone, a superb edge can be achieved.
Universal Sharpening Table (code 105426)
This table is an accessory for the Ultimate Edge Support Bar.
This is machined from anodised alloy and is supplied with a
mitre setting guide. The table is locked by a handle locking
securely onto the round bar. Anodised in black, there is a
quadrant of angles laser marked into the surface for easy
reference. Ideal for freehand lathe tool sharpening and
general linishing. Size 130 x 75mm.

Tormek
Many of the Tormek® jigs work amazingly well on the 12mm bar
of the Ultimate Edge and provide the user with extremely sharp
and accurately ground tools. The Tormek fingernail grinding jig
is shown using an aluminium oxide belt with a 65mm
protrusion. See the Tormek® pages for full details.
Belts and Accessories for the Ultimate Edge Machine
belt. As well as abrasive belts we have added a high quality ultra
flexible leather honing belt which can be used with the various
polishing pastes. For general use we recommend aluminium
oxide at about 180g working finer to 400g for final finishing
before any secondary bevel is applied using an ultra fine
diamond or waterstone. 3M’s Trizact abrasive is ideal for final
grinding of all materials resulting in a fine edge ready to use
straight off the machine. This is a different abrasive from normal
convention but equates to 600G, 1200G and 3000G Note: if dust
extraction is to be used, a fireproof hose should ALWAYS be
used (106624).

• Always use the belt in a clockwise direction
(belt travelling away from the blade tip)
• Never use the belt in a anti-clockwise direction
(belt travelling towards the blade tip)
Axminster Steel Slip Plate
Code 105676
This simple piece of thin steel clips onto the platen of the
Ultimate Edge Sharpening System and covers the graphite
slip plate. While the graphite slip plate helps the abrasive belt
move evenly over the platen when pressure is applied, there are
times when a firmer surface may be required. This is especially
important when sharpening wider flat bevels on plane irons for
example. The steel slip plate is easy to remove after use.
