Thanked: 369Alan,
Read back and I think you'll see that I wrote that the stropping forces align with the angle of the teeth, and not that stropping aligns the teeth themselves.
I know, a fine point.
Also another thought (not just you Alan): who did the honing and stropping in the above mentioned Verhoeven experiments? One person? Several? And how was the honing/ stropping done? All the same method? Did they try different methods? Were they aware that different methods might exist? Might make a difference...
Part of my theory (I wrote that I would get to it later) is that certain types of stropping might obliterate (from smoothing out/ wearing down) the striations/ micro-serrations. If they were present, then stropped away, they wouldn't be there to microphotograph. Would they?
