I thought it might save some of you time and trouble if I published the measurements that I used to make my Honing Guide Angle Jigs.
My measurements do not coincide with many of the published dimensions for these jigs.
I can only state that I measured each angle with my Wixey digital angle gauge and recorded the measurements for each angle as documented below.
I hope some may find this useful.

Data! Clear, concise, easily peer-reviewed data!! Well done BT; this is a (welcome).departure from the usual assertions without figures. The forum has moved forward!
 
You have done the homework BT so thanks. Will save a lot of us some work. I have to admit with the eclipse guide having the projection measurements on the side I have just always reached for the rule. I know a quick set jig would be faster and likely with the marples guide I would have got off my aris and made the jig long ago. These days the honing guide only comes out to refresh the primary bevel so that procrastination record may stand a while yet.

John
