The ShockWave is an amazing invention for how easy you can adjust your helix angles in 30 seconds. Now here is a way to make figuring out the angle its set at just as easy! Figured this out quite a while ago and finally got around to doing it Saturday.
Here is a way to mark a ShockWave so you can tell pretty much exactly what angle it is set at.
I indexed my Shockwaves with a automatic spring loaded center punch.
With the ring turned all the way in I center punched the ring where it lines up with the 1st helix mounting bolt hole to the left (counter clock wise) and punched the helix itself with 4 center punches in a line with the ring.
Next counterclock wise to the left to the next helix hole center punch the helix with 1 punch for 1/4 revolution
Next one more helix bolt hole counter clockwise to the left punch 2 times on the helix for one 1/2 revolution
Last one more helix bolt hole counterclock wise to the left punch 3 times on the helix for 3/4 revolution
Now when you rotate one more 1/4 turn your back where you punched 4 times for 4/4 or 1 revolution
Then with my original arms I made a chart based off of 34 to 56 degrees with 3.33 degrees per revolution
0 = 34.0
1/4 = 34.8
1/2 = 35.6
3/4 = 36.5
1.0 = 37.3
1 1/4 = 38.1
1 1/2 = 39.0
1 3/4 = 39.8
2.0 = 40.6
2 1/4 = 41.5
2 1/2 = 42.3
2 3/4 = 43.1
3.0 = 44.0
3 1/4 = 44.8
3 1/2 = 45.6
3 3/4 = 46.5
4.0 = 47.3
4 1/4 = 48.1
4 1/2 = 49.0
4 3/4 = 50.3
5.0 = 50.6
5 1/4 = 51.5
5 1/2 = 52.3
5 3/4 = 53.1
6.0 = 54.0
6 1/4 = 54.8
6 1/2 = 55.6
I think I got all the #'s right, figured this out quite a while ago and finally got around to doing it. Also engraved on the helix 34/56 @ 3.33
If you have multi angle arms just do the chart over, I think the new reverse multi arms start out at 33/37 for the 0 position.
Good Luck
