It was not possible to replace the Gen 1 bar using the two piece steel fixing unit with the Gen 2 bar that worked with the one piece aluminum fixing unit. It is probably not possible to replace the Gen 2 with the Gen 3. Also, if it were possible, all the old clamps would have to be replaced with the Gen 3 saddle style clamps. Be aware that often the hole pattern in the springs change too and render impossible the reuse of older reinforced springs.I had placed an order directly with their site at the beginning of February for a bunch of attachments I had been wanting. Nikita had asked me to advise the size of my fixing units, but I didn't understand what he was referencing as this question came in the middle of a back and forth about replacement screws for my filet clamp.
I just received an advertisement email from tsprof Sharpening announcing their new "whole milled clamps", Lansky abrasive adapter, and the aluminum frame. When I saw the picture of the new "whole milled clamps," which I had ordered I realized what a fixing unit was and that the design had changed. I've emailed their customer support to get more details, but I'll probably not hear back until Sunday night/Monday morning.
Shouldn't it be possible to upgrade the "k02 double clamp style bar" with the new ridged version and then upgrade the fixing units on the old clamping accessories?
