Add a micro bevel? Your talking over my head but, I learn fast.

Let's say you sharpened a knife at 17 degrees per side and that you went through all the grits you had and polished with the strops until you created a super smooth bevel. Next you might change the angle to 20 degrees per side and do a few light strokes with a fine stone like the 1000 diamonds, the micro-fine ceramics or a waterstone. You'd be creating a very tiny bevel at 20 degrees that will have some extra toothiness to it which might suit your cutting requirements. If you do a search on the forums, you'll find a lot of conversation about the virtues of super smooth and toothy edges and the kinds of tasks to which each are suited.

Any hints, updates, or info on the Pro Pack 2 shipping soon?

Shipping is one thing but they are not even listed until now ;=)
Any news?

Soon we're just waiting on the new degree bars to arrive.

Well... I got my new base bar and the arm sliders that Clay so kindly replaced for me (even though in my ignorance, I butchered the originals up).
I bolted it all together yesterday and everything is working fine. The calibrated markings are great and etched or cut to be more visible than before. I do use the angle cube, but they are nice to have anyway.
Just thought I would let everyone know that I am very happy with the new parts, and even more so with the nice folks at WEPS and the customer service that they provide.
