OK, when are you shipping the X01's? And when can I get the FBV technology on the X01? Thanks.

How long? The suspense is killing me! I want to get a sharpener for home use and I'm ready to buy now.

The picture on Wissota's site shows a diamond dressing tool with a label on it that has graduations. Maybe yours was an older model or the diamond wasn't original. I'm surprised to hear that you think the Wissota is junk, that would be the first time I've heard that. Of course, most people that have one are probably only experienced in using one machine, so compared to nothing they think it's great! I'm not biased in any way, but I'm looking to purchase a machine very soon and I'm doing all of my research now. Thanks for the replies so far.

FBV? I'm not sure what that means. Also, isn't the ROH on a Wissota adjusted by moving the diamond point in our out, and lining up the graduated marks to the pointer? It doesn't sound like a calculator is needed.

So what makes these Blackstone Portables better than a Wissota? Especially when you can't do ROH's between what the Spinners are, such as 7/16. Also, $50 each for every Spinner sounds like alot. Can anyone tell me why I should buy a Blackstone over a Wissota? Thanks.
