I'm excited to try out these new tools.  I've really enjoyed sharpening on the WSKO.  I hope this will take it to a new level.

Lest Ken or Grepper think I'm not listening:  I hear you both about light pressure.  It makes sense from several standpoints:  Low heat, low belt deflection (for a less convex edge), good control, etc.  Finally, I personally believe that low pressure at high speeds translates to "finer apparent grit".  A combination of the belt moving very quickly (compared to hand speed) and the light pressure on the cutting surface, should produce a scratch pattern that's several grades finer than what is printed on the belt.  Am I crazy?  

Thanks,

Breian.
you said medium scotchbrite.........purpleish in color/burgandy.........i think you want the blue fine one......medium is a different world......they offer a gray @ extra fine, but not needed as i have found it.....just fyi.

i remembered that in the past, i had ordered non woven from Klingspore also.....med....fine......they  offer med....purple.....fine in blue
