Thread: Anyone use this stone?

Sorry, JustN.

I forgot to include this link regarding grid lapping stones. My bad.

So the stone arrived the other day. Heavy dude. I like it.
Here is a question though. Keep in mind I still plan on lapping this stone, but would the edges have been rounded off to prevent blade damage if the stone wasn't already lapped? This stone looks as if someone already flattened it and rounded the edges.

Pictures??

In addition to what I typed earlier. I did run one of my razors accross the stone. It seemed to push water evenly over the stone. The blade appeared to sit flat.

After looking at the stone again I can see machine marks so it definitely wasn't lapped by hand. It's not good enough to use I don't think. I just thought it was weird that the edges were rounded off because I would have figured they would have been squared.

Getting ready to lap

Don't forget to chamfer/round off the ends, as well, not only the sides.. Safety first

btw- love the extra floor protection. Safety first!

ps-don't forget the grid lapping link I posted above. Do it a minimum of 3 times., IMO

A lot of people use it,,, the Library contains lots of hidden secrets,,,,,,,,
