Thanks guys. I just placed an order for the 1500/2200 stones.

I only got 6/11, so guess I’m not a steel nerd!  Cool quiz though fun to take.

Another great accessory would be at set of Black Axle Boots like these:

So many users use them already to protect the ball joints from diamond dust from the stones, so why not offer them as an accessory? Once again you can save the users a lot of time because they don’t have to search for the right ones and perhaps buy some that are less than o…[Read more]

An argument against offering a set of four shaft collars as an accessory could be that there are so many different collars out there, and the users should be able to choose the ones that they like the most.

But this is not the issue here. By offering the collars as an accessory, you save the users from having to wonder which collars will do the…[Read more]

What a great idea, Expedia! A set of four Shaft Collars will be a very cheap and useful accessory. You could even add a set of thick rubber o rings, that can reduce the shock, when the stones hit the collars. I’m sure this accessory will be a great help to many users, and they will get much more out of their sharpener by using the collars.

Great! I don’t think you will regeret it… I hope you wil post your experiences with them.

BTW, “free 2 day shipping”. You don’t want to know, what shipping to Denmark costs, but I’ll tell you, it sure ain ‘t free! And som products don’t even ship to Denmark…

And then there is customs and tax: 25 USD + 25% VAT!

Life ain ‘t cheap…

Yes, they do!

For my actual purpose, I really need the old style of handles, because they can be taken apart.

I will be gluing some 5 mm thick stones to the black centrepieces and then total thickness of the handles will be just the same as the ordinary Wicked Edge handles. Getting the paddle thickness back to 30 mm is quite important, because then the…[Read more]

I use four 1/4 inch Shaft Collars to control the movements of my paddles.

1/4 Sharft Collar

They work so well, I think they ought to be available as a standard Wicked Edge accessory.

Get the “Threaded Shaft Collars”, and buy four of them.

When you have the 12 inch rods, it’s often a good idea to use clamps on both ends of the rods.

Indeed, but let me recommend you to use clamping shaft collars as paddle stops. Once you secure the collars on the guide rods, they will stay in place, even when you hit them multiple times while moving the paddles.

However, do avoid collars with set screws as they might damage your guide rods.

I have been unable to find this disccussion.

Can anyone help me locating it?

Google is your friend…

I tried to Google “scissor sharpening angle”, and very little information turned up.

However, sharpeningmadeeasy.com gave some real information. I’ve taken the liberty of quoting the most relevant paragraphs here:
SCISSOR SHARPENING

Scissor angles are measured from square, which is called 0 degrees.
