>I took your advise and removed the tensioning rod and it took me about 10-15 minutes to figure things out and get it back together. It's working great.

I was afraid to disassemble the tensioning system because when I had accidently loosened the tensioning knob too far the washer and spring fell out. I knew I had gone too far in loosening and didn't want to mess it up any further.

Thanks

>No problem.

I've also used the Clifton Stay Sharp cap on Stanley and Hock blades (have one on my #5 right now) - works as well or maybe a little better than a properly tuned standard chip breaker when it's properly fitted.

Yes - it can be handy for a quick rehoning, but I find that if I'm in a hurry, I'd rather use my back-up blade/chipbreaker which is ready to go.
