does it grind at the proper blade angle

By adjusting the height of the stone using the crank handle on top of the machine is what changes the cutting angle for myself I cut a piece of wood to the desired angle and use it to set a 30 degree angle for my blades, your blades may be different.

Yes it does and the angle is also adjustable. This grinder is very high quality and rugged. Excellent choice!

Hi Adam. This knife is neither. It is actually what Knife Supply calls a "taper" grind. To be sure we are both using the same definitions, please go here and look at what Knife Supply shows for grinds. http://www.knifesupply.com/types_of_knife_blade_grinds.html. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I love this knife. It is heavy and the blade is thicker than most.

No, although to my knowledge the cold steel is a full flat grind. Though if you really wanted a convex edge, just put one on it by sharpening it with sand paper on a soft yet firm surface.

In the center of bottom there is a screw that you can turn clockwise to make the grind more fine. Or counterclockwise to make it more corse.

The grind is adjusted by tightening (finer grind) or loosening (coarser grind) the finial on top, but I have found it to be pretty limited in terms the difference in grinds you can obtain. Not a big problem for me and the price was right.

There is a round silver screw on the bottom that you turn to adjust the grind. Turn it clockwise for a finer grind, counterclockwise for a coarser grind. This works on my mill. If yours doesn't work there's something wrong with it.

no it is notit does not ave one but honestly I've had this for year now and it is REALLY nice i haven't had to do this yet to mine but if you have an angle grinder, you can grind a new sharp edge on it in under a minute (12 dollars at harbor freight for a grinder)I would highly recommend this Shovel

the blade should face out towards the grinding plate. if used the other way their would be a space between the blade and grinding plate which you DO NOT want as it can bend or snap the cutting blade; simply put, ground meat feeds outward not inward. never rely on a guess answer.

Sorry this is late, maybe this can still be helpful to you. I find that I wobble along with the grinder in a complimentary movement way. I don't set it down on a surface to grind. I hold it in the air and let one arm grind and the other hand holds it, sometimes going in the opposite direction to be more efficient. I still use it everyday since I got it 2 months ago. No problems yet.Hopefully never!

However, realize the blade is so short, the wheel won't start at the hilt. No biggie. Also you are changing the angle of the grind, so you won't be done in a few passes. It's going to take a few minutes and some material. I think the result is worth it! Good luck and don't hurt yourself!

The picture the they show on there site has a dead on accurate picture of the item. I do not know the angle but I know that the knives I have my husband uses a regular knife sharpener on them and they work great. I believe they have a tapered grind edge I think that is what my husband called it.

I noticed the center grind line near the tip isn't 100% even. It's not a glaring flaw but when you look close it is notable.

Grooves all the way around. The guide to provide the right angle for honing is only on one side, although it's not difficult to maintain the angle as you rotate the honing steel.

If the blade is flat you just flip the nut over that you loosened to get the old grinding wheel off. it should have a flat side.

I have not tried. The blades do not seem close enough to the bottom to find grind; in my opinion.

There is a hole in the handle for a screw, or a thong. The angle of the grind is about the same as you would find on any other knife. Hope this helps.

The edge grind on a thick blade like the LMF is often not symmetrical. You could re-bevel it to a thinner angle, if you were so inclined. However, it's only a problem if it prevents the knife from performing as intended. I doubt that would be the case with this knife.
