Thread: Glass stones vs Shapton pros?

Having owned both Pro & GS I'd say the GS is a better polisher & the Pro is a better cutter. I found the Pro's held shape better, less lapping & for restore work, those 2 reasons made my decision to sell the GS stones. Not crazy about the 12k Pro shave but some CrO stropping helps a lot. I often finish on a Goku 20 or Jnats so the 7/10 thing may be right. The Pro's are quite aggressive & a light touch is crucial at all grits.

If I went back to GS I'd like to try a minimalist progression of 1k/3k/6k then some pre polisher & finisher.

The 320 Pro is a far more aggressive cutter than the 220 GS & great for restores. One step away from a DMT I'd call it, without the deep scratches of diamonds.
