Q: Do I need sharpening experience to use this system?

No, the system is easy enough that excellent results are possible even with little or no prior sharpening experience.

Q: How precise are the bevel angle settings?

The tool rest post has detent settings at 5° intervals from 15° to 45°, so each angle is precise and repeatable session after session.

No, blade projection in the holder stays constant. Only the tool rest height changes between sharpenings.

Apply light, consistent pressure and monitor the blade's temperature with your fingers. Wait until the blade cools before continuing.
