I've seen a video, angle gauge or setup blocks.

Interesting.... I wondered. With my Lee Valley device you set it based on how far it sticks out. Sounds like you could use these:

In one video it shows the jigs and angle gauge, however in the doc it shows preset angles, 15, 25, 30, and 45.

those are OK for non chipped chisels. I always chip mine and need to be more aggressive

Mine usually only chip when I loan a set or drop them.... And then it is off to the tormek for a hollow grind.... Then I can free hand. Pretty easy to free hand a hollow grind chisel. Huge time saver. When you sharpen out the hollow grind it is back to the tormek...
