Rupert and Grepper,
My recent purchase of the three grits of Scotch-Brite belts also included a Surgi-Sharp leather strop. I plan to learn how to use all of these.
One interesting thing for me was using the slack part of the belt. Both the plastic ring and the sockets are round. I see the slack part of the belt becoming increasingly important to me.
I have a lot to learn about the Viel. The more I use it, the more I am impressed with its versatility. I also appreciate how quiet it is.
I have had no problem with edges even thinking about overheating when using the slower speeds. The expense and effort of converting to variable speed are well worth it.
