USB Microscope??

It has taken me some attempts to get this post right, but here it is. I have been able to get this one work with my Samsung Galaxy phone, but it wasn’t without trouble…

The idea of using my PC, while I’m sharpening, doesn’t appeal to me. The par…[Read more]

Hey Marc.  I just checked for that. Yes, there is some space between the stone or strop and cover, so as not to make contact with the surface. They also fit quite snugly, and add some thickness.  I do like them.  A picture says a thousand words…

Hey guys.  I ordered a set of these with my most recent WE order.  Just one set so I could see what they were like and also the quality.  I must say, for what they are, they are great!  They are not flimsy plastic, but rather firm.  Pretty sure they’ll last forever.  I think they’re worth the money and are a great solution for protecting my stone…[Read more]

Expidia –

Pretty sure I understand your question.  A half inch difference between the micro adjustment nuts for any give angle setting on the plate seems like a lot to me.

I remember when I removed the blue plate (to install the WE 3001 vice) on my unit, the movement of the arms were controlled by their connection to the angle adjustment…[Read more]

Welcome back! I’ve a pre-2017 WE Gen 3 pro (and 2017 model F&S Pro used when travelling) which I’ve upgraded with the newer vice as well as 10″ guide rods.  I removed the shelves early on to bring it down to a more comfortable working height, and just love it.  No longer do I use it in a sharpening business, but frequently use it for my own k…[Read more]

That was most excellent to listen to.  Thanks much for posting!

Thanks for posting the video.  I like the idea of using a brush versus a cloth or fingers to clean the edge between grits.

Hey guys.  I’m probably one of the very few, but my only serrated knife is a kitchen bread knife. I gave up on spending time to sharpen my serrated steak knives, and now no longer have them.  I found that a sharp 4″ paring knife makes a most excellent steak knife!

That said, I know there are plenty of military, rescue, survival, and other type s…[Read more]

Thank you ever so much! You are a hero.

Unfortunately, this link is now broken.

I hope you can fix it – I would love to learn how to do it.

Dear Expedia,

Help, could you please give a direct link to these boxes?

Welcome to our forum, Gene.  I can tell you’ve been reading a lot, as you’ve put together a most excellent shopping list!  I think you’ll do just fine with that sharpener and selected accessories.
