Overview of progressive rake setupJust a bit of timber and a string clamped somewhere close to the filing vise.

|
Setting the rake angle at the heel endHere the rake is zero degrees, so I can just use a square
|
|
Setting the Rake angle at the toe endUse a protractor to set the rake angle at the toe end of the blade, here it is 20 degrees, probably a bit too relaxed, I think 15 degrees might be a bit tighter.
