Naniwa Chosera 1K
Hi guys, I want a little advise please.
I've just ordered the Naniwa Chosera 1K . It was recommended to me over my Shapton Glass 1k.
I've bought the one without a plastic base because it will fit onto my Shapton holder perfectly.
What I want to know is whats the difference cutting wise between this and my Shapton 1k.
I think I read that soaking for 3 mins is the way to use it.
Some times feel that my Shapton 1k doesn't cut properly. Maybe a good soak would fix that. I do keep it lapped and clean.
Many thanks

Just my take on the matter.. There are many different hone grit size designations!! A Shapton is a stone with ongoing polishing due to the binder materials. A Chosera is a hone that seems to work and remove metal quickly. Use with slurry for fast cutting and then with plain water the last few laps to clean up and set a scratch pattern.
I don't know of any one selling their Choseras.
Have Fun!

Not a magic stone, you do have to spend your time. Working with a slurry stone was new to me and it took a few cycles to get the hang of it.
But oh, do they work well...

I only use the brown stone that came with my chosera 1k for cleaning the hone under running water after setting bevels.

Sorry to side track a little. How long does it take for yours to dry out. Mine has been a couple days and can still feel the moisture in it. I have been using my lapping plate for cleaning. Must say it way out performs my Naniwa ss 1k
My wife calls me.........
Can you just use Ed

I only use the stone's slurry, so I run my DMT11C over it a few figure 8's for a good slurry and then dilute to no slurry for the final part of the honing.

so would my atoma 1200 be a good idea to create slurry? Originally Posted by shooter74743
