I just spoke to Kay at WE by phone to make a change to my order. I wanted to add the curved porcelain stones for use on my ZT recurves and she recommended going from the 1000 grit flat diamond stone to the 600 grit curved ceramic to the leather strop with 5 and then 3.5 micron diamond paste and then to the 1.5 and .5 micron strop and then to the kangaroo just naked with no paste to get the best mirror polish on my recurves.
I think I will start a new thread with this discussion, but what I wanted to add here is that she also said they did not expect the newly calibrated base rods for another 2 weeks or so, but that they expect to have by Friday this week, the new arms and everything else for the Pro Pack 2, so they are going to ship my Pro Pack 2 with the old calibrated base and new arms and would follow up with shipping the new base when they get it in, in a couple of weeks. In the mean time I can use the cube level to measure my angles for the rods and this is good because I can also break in my new stones on some old knives and learn to use the system while waiting for the newer calibrated base. Very nice.
Cudos to WE and Clay and his wife and staff for their outstanding customer service and commitment to their customers.
