    I wish I knew. My dad bought a sharpening business back in the 70s and this was one of the things with it. As kids he told us, "Don't use this for knives or this because it is for sharpening razors."

    Here is a thread about it:

    I'm still trying to figure it out. Nice, long, ponderous laps.
