Gritomatic Hapstone KME Strop & Diamond Stone Holder, 3 Versions

thingiverse

This is a mod so that the Hapstone universal sharpener will hold a KME 1“x4” strop or diamond stone securely using existing screws. three stl files are listed. Version2 , KMEHolderV2, has portion that grips 1'x4" KME diamond stones made shorter to allow for an improved range in angle adjustment. Doing this project for a friend so changing as he see's needs. Anyone wanting to suggest changes, or to remake, is more than welcome. 3/1/2023 Update. Pal tells me that lowest angle can get with holders that cap stone ends is around 20 degrees. This is due to the KME jaw tightening knob and top edge of jaws. I have worked up a new mount for KME 1"x4" stones using adhesive backed Velcro. In the Velcro mount version, put the hook Velcro on the printed mount and the loop side on the stone. This is because the loop side is most durable and least likely to need changing over time. Not being a fan of phillips head screws, I am working on a version to use allen drive cap screws as soon as I can figure out what screw size is used in the Hapstone universal holder. All stl files should be printed as laid out and will not need supports.
