Thread: Norton 8k vs chosera 10k.

One statement I have posted multiple times about the Grit Ratings, vs Micron rating vs Comparisons between these

There is only one "Truth" about the ratings that are stamped on hones,,, that rating only correlates to another hone in the exact same series.. They don't even correlate between different series of hones by the same maker


Translation

A 10k Naniwa SS is a finer hone then a Naniwa SS 5k But there is not a direct comparison between a Naniwa SS 10k and a Naniwa Chosera 10k these are two different hones .. And there is certainly no direct comparison between a hone from a different maker..

Grit/Micron size is only a small part of the equation of how a hone works..
