Thanked: 4822I concur. The other reason for going with the mainstream known hones is if you run into a problem there will be more people with experience with your hone and your problem.

Thanked: 1936Norton 4/8K or Naniwa 3/8K combination stones. There is more information available on the Norton, but the Naniwa is just as good.

Thank you and God Bless, Scott

I too will recommend the Norton 4/8 or Naniwa 3/8, these are much more versatile than a JNat, although a JNat can be used with different naguras to cover a wider range.
They are also both synthetic, which makes them pretty consistent, and you can take a lot of advantage from other peoples experience with them, like in the JaNorton Thread as opposed to naturals, where every stone is different and needs to be learned well to take out the full potential.Last edited by Zephyr; 02-13-2014 at 01:32 PM.

I would also go with the 4/8k. It gives you much more versatility.

Thanked: 0Thanks for the input everyone. I picked up the 4/8k today at lunch based upon everyone's feedback. $79.99 at a local tool shop. I think that's a pretty fair price too.
