You can see the off center running of the honing machine clearly. The operator doesn't have a smooth stroke or pattern which makes perfect results difficult. He also is doing one at a time which is slower and typically produces some taper and wears the stones unevenly. But at least you sort of get an idea of how the process works.

X 2, Mike. The one thing we did was to allow the rods to cool back to room temp before starting the final hone. On a side note, I like to figure out how much honing oil my skin has absorbed over the years!
