hi guys. i decided to join so i can answer any questions or help any of you out with the paper wheels. the setup bapple has is the best setup you can get. i myself use a 1725 rpm motor which is plenty fast enough to run the wheels. the website says 3400 rpm but it is not necessary to run them that fast.

you can only do a v edge on the grit wheel but you can maintain a convex edge on the slotted wheel by using it instead of a strop. the slotted wheel takes the place of a strop and does the job a lot quicker. i have a thread on bladeforums in maintainance, tinkering & embellishment. i have a link to the thread posted at my website home page.
