Mark,
Sorry forgot I loaned the camera to my sister, maybe Clay will get a video up? It really is very simple though! You should have no problem figuring it out? I did and if I can anyone can.
Mini review:
So I thought it would be interesting to use as many stones as possible? Was not thinking of a finish or an edge just wanted to put the swat to the test. I followed this progression:
DMT – 80, 100/200, 400/600, 800/1000
Micro fine ceramic 1.4
Chhosera 1000/2000, 3,000/5,000
Roo 3.5
So my observations? I saw the swat with the small hex head screw to clamp in place on it and thought? Hey my large hex from the ball joint would work better. Wrong! To adjust the large screw and to get my fat fingers in between is just to hard to do. I think Clay tried this already? It works fine as is.
Set up: At first it seemed kind oh pia? However I found once the angle is found and by reaching around and behind while holding the stone against the swat it is very easy to tighten the hex screw down.
Operation: I found it to be a dream come true! Going from one stone to the next just could not be easier! Especially with the chosera’s. Loosen up the ball joint, hold the stone against the swat, re-tighten the ball joint and your done. Just that easy!
Conclusion: I went from the 80 stone all the up to my roo and it was considerably easier not having to use the angle gauge every time. I think the swat is a affordable and simple mod. If you use your stones often and the stones are all different sizes your going to love the swat! I think if you just use the diamonds by themselves it is probably not necessary? But I used eight different size paddles and I think I cut considerable time out of the process. In short I found the swat a joy to use!
