Hi Undream
I'm pleasantly surprised, I figured it would vibrate, particularly with the extra tooling. Live and learn. I have only ground one razor, and I found the tool rest on mine was worthless. The razor was curved up into the tail part, so the tool rest wouldn't work when I ground the blade. A good excuse to practice my free hand grinding skills. It came out ok - not perfect, but a good first attempt. There was a post a while back about a grinding holder for the blade that worked in conjuction with the tool rest. Wouldn't be much help if you have a curved spine, however. I'll stick with free hand, I think.
