Thread: Just pulled the trigger

Just placed an order for the Norton 4k/8k from SRD about 3 hours ago. I have been setting my bevels on 2k wet or dry, followed by honing with lapping film. Was getting great edges, but wanted to try stones.
I have what I think is about a 600 grit(just a guess) stone that i have lapped and will use as a bevel setter(the larger stone on the left in the below picture) until I can get the cash to go with a Norton or Naniwa 1k.


Can't wait to get my hands on it. I know this is a common hone purchased by beginners, so nothing special, but I hope to learn to use it well.
