Thanks Leo. Glad I read everything here on the forum before my WE arrived. Learned so much more than I ever could from the instruction manual. It’s virtually impossible for this type of manual to cover every possible situation. For example. Took a little aluminum off the right side of the vice leaning that some narrow blade knives are just too narrow to even use the top holes of the depth gauge and need to be elevated a little higher! As I said, really like the WE system … unfortunately it just compounds my “too much to do (or want to do) …. too little time” problem. I basically have the Pro system … minus the base. I wanted a base that was thicker than the 1.25″ bases made for the WE. So, I went with a 2 inch bamboo cutting block. So, I am pretty much set until the ceramic and 50/80 stones I ordered come in. Got a msg last night that they are still 4-5 weeks away.
