Question for Shapton stone users
My usual sharpening setup is a 4 stone waterstone series. One of the
stones will soon be due for replacement. I really like Shapton professional series stones. Is there any reason why I shouldn't replace the worn stone with the proper Shapton? I'd rather not buy all four at once, and I'd also rather not buy another standard waterstone. Thanks! |

Certainly can't think of any reason why this would not work. As long as you get the appropriate grit, you shouldn't have a problem. Would recommend that with your first Shapton, you also get their flattening system -- that will set you back approximately the price of another stone. +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ If you're gonna be dumb, you better be tough +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |

Question for Shapton stone users
Which four do you have now?
Which would you be adding? I plan to add a 120 or 220 to my Shaptons: 1000 orange 5000 purple 8000 green You spend hardly ANY time on that purple, so I could be skipped pretty easily. For flattening my shaptons, I bought a diasharp course diamond stone. |
