That's a clean one! Great find...
It seems that many of those Rolls had serious service and so it's hard to find the elements all intact.
I've always really liked the mechanics of those cool gizmos!joelkerr likes this.“You must unlearn what you have learned.”

Do this over a towel. A little ball-bearing goes in one side to notch in a detent on the inside of the bar. A little screwdriver is handy to pop the opposite side off first.

A few layers of tape on the spine with extra hanging off the sides to flip it on your waterstones with your fingers. Push straight down the hone, flip, down the other way.
The Rolls hone side is not good for much, IMO.Last edited by sharptonn; 07-15-2018 at 04:37 PM.

I found one I have apart. The top pin on one side of the bar is stubby and rounded.
That is the side the ball will need to be in. The other side has a longer pin which limits the bar's travel.

I think I'll leave the bar on. It was a pain while working on getting rid of chips, but I have to say that it definitely saved me from a few cuts while running it up and down my 1k! Originally Posted by TheGeek

That's a good thought! Originally Posted by joelkerr

Install the blade into the stropper with the leather side installed and see what the gap is between the leather and the spine.
You should have tape that thick , I think...Last edited by sharptonn; 07-16-2018 at 02:51 PM.
