Thread: Base for Chosera/Pro 1k

Some people do this with thinner naturals and this stone is very long and less than an inch thick, so I was wondering if I should be concerned with this one even though it is a synthetic.

No, you do not need to be concerned. That's really all there is to it.

To be more specific,

You would NORMALLY not be concerned. If you are putting too much pressure on any stone you would risk cracking it. In 20 years or so when you have worn the stone down to 1/4 inch thick it might be an issue too.
