    Zib,

    Ignore the wite sticker. That's just something that woodcraft has put on there. I'm assuming that they are so used to calling any type of waterstone a "japanese" waterstone that it just went on there because of typical nomenclature.

    I bet you could walk in to a Woodcraft store and ask for Norton Japanese Waterstones, and the guy wouldn't hesitate walking you right over to the Nortons. Which, aren't made in Japan. They'd probably balk if you asked them for the mexican waterstones

    Guangxi is a province of Cihina. Just go to wikipedia and search for Guangxi; it'll tell you all about it.

    Good Day,

    Has anyone tried using the Norton prep stone on the Chinese 12K?

    Thanks Ben,

    I figured as much. I opened the box and looked before I bought it. I could tell right away that the salesman knew little or nothing about stones. Rich

    I'm curious about that myself. The only thing is, I believe it's for the 8k, so it may actually be counter productive.
    Keep an eye on the classifieds. I'm going to buy another and cut it with the wet saw. I'll have about 7 c12k slurry stones to sell.

    I have read that the Norton flattening stone would not make a dent in the CH12K. It could possibly damage the Norton. The CH12K will really wear a DMT down too.

    Just an FYI, the slurry stones that Chris made were lapped and the edges were rounded on one side. He didn't just chop the stones up and shipthe pieces out.

    I will definitely try and pick up one of the chopped up CH12K slurry/prep stones when they appear in the Classifieds.

    I am new to the CH12K, and so far am really enjoying the results. It has truly kicked things up a notch. Next up, I will add the 0.5 diamond pasted strop between CH12K and CrO2 parts of my honing routine and see if I get even better results.

    When you do it, Zib, as Kelbro mentioned, I would suggest lapping the slurry stones and rounding the edges and corners. The pic below gives a pretty good idea of how I prepared the stones prior to shipping each one of them out:

    I actually ended up rounding the actual corners more than what you see in the picture; I found in testing the slurry stones that unless the corners were rounded nicely, the corners could dig into the stone which was not cool.

    I hope that helps.

    Thanks Chris, I appreciate it. That makes sense about the corners digging in. My buddy, (the one with the wet saw), just had hip replacement surgery, He's not even 50 yet, but was a contractor his whole life. It really took a toll on his body.
    I'm thinking a week or two and I'll give it a shot. I may pm you. if you don't mind, if I have a question. Thanks Rich
