Use it the same way you use a stone. Except you change the sandpaper when it stops cutting properly or when you need a different grit.thanks.
So what are you guys using this for? I'm really, really interested, but I'm not sure how to use sand paper for thinning or other purposes.
thanks.

A very late response - was I asleep at the wheel?I'm 95% sure I'm going to buy this device. Two questions about other possible uses:
1. Could this be used as a stone flattener with either drywall screen and or sandpaper? (if so what would you recommend). Essentially rubbing your stones directly on this to flatten?
2. Would a peice of leather fit in this to be used as a strop? Or would leather not bend properly to clamp in.
Very interested and appreciate your thoughts.
Subsequent to this, I've used it with 80 grit to repair a deeply chipped knife. You get used to the feeling of the very coarse grit after a while.Just used mine to thin and restore very damaged edges on a set of old Chigago Cutlery knives for a relative. It's good to be able to go very coarse but I find that anything below about 180 grit feels wierd. 180 is pretty fast, though.
