    You know Alex, a better bet might be to ask anyone interested in this little experiment to donate say, ten dollars to buy a new hone to try it with!


    Just a thought!

    Ok, as suggested by Mark, if you'd like to donate any funds to buy a Shapton to test cut in many different ways- PM me!!! It'll be one of the cheaper ones obviously.

    How much would the cheapest usable hone cost? Say 1000 grit?

    If we all chip in 5 or 10$, we buy a hone for the experiment, and if it succeeds, the 2 hones are raffled among the participants.

    Default glasstones cutting

    I have a set of Shaptons, i bet you could cut them with a stone cutting saw....

    also, an idea i had but have not implemented yet to make a narrower stone is to take the Shapton diamond lapping plate and make a 45 degree flat bevel on one side of either a pro stone or glasstone, this would give a nice flat bevel but not too wide either, plus it would keep the stone mostly intact for those nicer blades that truly are flat...

    a Shapton is made out of tempered glass if my information is correct, and you can NOT cut it.
    Regular glass is easy to cut, but they tempered the glass for safety and strength reasons. if you cut tempered glass, it will explode into small glassfragments (hence the name safetyglass).

    More than one way to skin a cat. I have a bunch of ideas that don't necessarily involve "cutting".
