Does anyone know the micron sizes on the 2200/3000 stones?
I used mine for the first time last night, and so far I like how they worked. Need to see how they do after they’ve broken in, but I go to the superfine ceramics and then hand strop after the 1500, so used these in place of the ceramics. The edge is toothier, but nearly as sharp on a push cut.

I’m pretty sure (not 100% positive) that the foam piece fell out of place before I removed the jaws. I wasn’t going to mention it since I wasn’t sure, but it just occurred to me that I’ve use a blower to clean off the jaws on several occasions, so there’s a good chance I knocked it out of position with that – might be useful for others to know.

I’ve had a grating noise in mine since I bought it a few months ago. I used your instructions, Graphite (and thanks to Clay for pointing me to them, and the advice), and sanded a wee bit from the plastic cam follower, and now it’s smooth and quiet. Thanks a bunch, easy to follow, and fun to see the innards of this device.
Regarding the cylindrical foam piece, mine had fallen into the channel where the bullnose wedge rides. I’d be interested in knowing what it’s supposed to do, and whether it’s important. I reassembled without it, and don’t see an immediate problem. I also don’t see how it would stay in place if I try to put it back.
