Yeah I was fooled by the same misconception.
It feels like a correct assumption if you have the following thought process: The angle to the base of a cone is consistent around its perimeter. If I change the width/length of the cone, the angle has to change... this same rule should apply to a sharpening jig.
But then someone shows you this...
...and the above assumption collapses.
So yeah, you can use a central point/pivot to keep the same bevel angle along a straight edge, regardless of its width/length! :lol2:
