I think I know the answer: I'm not rotating the tool evenly against the stone.
What techniques do you all have for ensuring an even edge? Is it just the obvious, swing slowly back and forth as if it were a metronome in slow motion?

Thanks, guys and gals,

Experiencing frustrations with the scissors-sharpening jig:
1.  At anything greater than a 65-degree bevel, I get a lot of vibration and noise.  The T4 is nearly new, so can it be a problem with the stone this soon?
2.  I try to keep the water even across the blade as I grind.  In doing so, water pours off the inside edge of the scissors onto the top of the unit, then runs down between the side of the unit and the water tray, onto the benchtop and creates a big mess.  Am I doing something wrong, or is this simply (really) bad design?
3.  Any hints for using the WM-200 jig?  The little back edge on the degree dial is so small, and so little of that edge contacts the plate or the clamping plate when I use that), that it's essentially worthless.  I've resorted to trial and error using a permanent marker...but that seems like a pretty poor solution to bad design, as well.

Plenty frustrated with this very expensive jig for a very expensive tool.  Would appreciate any help.
