I have not tried this, but thinking that a couple of rods with a coupling of some kind (nut, sleeve, hole drilled in stock etc. etc. that would allow the existing universal support to easily slip into) just add them to the existing universal rods as a slip in fit and should give you a bit of hight addition. This would also allow a perfect fit for each rod in the hold downs and screw clamp systems. I am new to the tormek so not sure if this will cause additional problems with stability etc. (Jeff would certainly know of any drawbacks to this plan...)

Just a thought.....

OK I will give this a try. thank you all for your input and help. (BTW) Tried my new system for first time yesterday sharpening an old, cheap knife (for practice)  WOW even for me... now I got a 'new' Knife! Passed Jeff's paper test! Anyway I realize I am off subject here, but I am truly impressed. Again, thank you for your help.

I saw a video that said the leather wheel on the T-3 needed to be kept "moist" by lubricating with light oil regularly. I can't find anything about this in the instructions (unless I missed it somewhere??) How does everyone else deal with it? Is it fine to just use the honing compound or do I really have to lube it with oil?
thanks and have a good day
