AFDAVIS, sorry about the clarity of the post. I guess I understand the concept of honing till it's done and not more and maybe a better way to ask is if you are using the rs scope, (I will use 60 mag if that is all I need) does that mean that at 60mag you hone, set the bevel, or clean up the edge with as many passes on the stone as necessary to achieve a smooth edge, even if it is a lot. I may have misunderstood Lynn's point in the DVD it just seemed like a conflict to my mind to hone so much. I am after all quite new to this.

Thanks for the help.
