So… After a couple of weeks of use, I have actually re-inserted the one belleville washer I removed previously. I have disassembled the vise a couple of times and it is really easy! Just watch what you are doing and pay attention. There is a lot of debris that can get down in there, especially when breaking in the new stones. Cleaning it out with canned air is the answer to your problems. Without cleaning the assembly, I would assume you are hearing a grinding gritty noise. I have not tried the dry wax as Marc has mentioned, but I would heed his recommendation. He really knows his stuff.

07/29/2019 at 9:46 am #51191Thanks for the reply. Thanks for the additional info on the Belleville washers. My new pro has the tension lever in the back, but even with all the way to zero (the minus symbol) it felt like an excessive amount of force. With the one washer removed, the thinest knife in my arsenal only requires the tension to be a set at about 30 degrees, with all the way on being 180 degrees if that makes sense. Thanks for all of the info! And… yes I have ADD with stuff like this is as well. The wife was laughing at me all weekend, including the fact that I just bought a USB microscope. Thanks again for the info!

07/28/2019 at 11:31 pm #51186Thanks for the reply. I actually only removed a single washer. Seems to be working great and a way more smooth action. I saved the washer in case the other ones “Break In” over time. Just saw that video you posted as well. I am really glad I joined this forum! everyone has been GREAT!
07/27/2019 at 8:48 pm #51175Thanks for the advice Marc. I am not new to sharpening. Used one of the original guided systems that came out about 30 years ago, My Uncle bought it for me as a gift when I got my Eagle Scout. I have been running a belt setup for a couple of years and am sick of the mess and the results(No garage or work shop). Anyways I am at least a couple weeks out before I start hitting up the nice knives. I am at kind of at a stand still until my other stones arrive, they were back ordered when I purchased the Pro. I think the belt setup is going to get sold on craigslist and may use the proceeds to buy a T-8 as I also own 5 gransfors axes, 3 barr chisels and a barr drawknife. Looking forward to talking with you soon regarding the Rack-It!
