I just received this $13 angle guide.  Goes from 10-45 degrees and it's made to snap right on my Harbor Freight belt sander.

I may have to break down and sharpen the blades on my backup 5" lazer that doesn't need it.  See if kill them or not.  I've got a new spare set if I do.  It's probably best to learn on a set without gouges and nicks, and already at the correct angle, than ones that are trashed.

This may help with the Mora blades angle ..not certain what angle the Lazers would be

B540glenn:
Is there a way to test your blades after sharpening when there's no hard water around? 
At least, ice that doesn't fit in a glass of ... Iced Tea? ::)
I managed one more season of light fishing on my blades and I'd like to give sharpening them a try over the summer. 

How do I know they're sharp enough to shave ice?

FreshwaterPhil:
Shaver blades need honing after every season or so. I keep spares for both my Finbores and my Ion with me at all times, as well as the wrench. That way, I swap them if something goes wrong on ice, then hand sharpen them when getting back home.

Chipper blades need less maintenance, but I've seen them dull enough to where they are useless.
