I use these as a "stand" for all manner of stones Bench Dogs.

Now those non-slip pucks are really a good answer, Thank you!

PS. I normally use a board across my kitchen sink with the adjustable clamp/ stand.

One thing that I will point out is that you don't actually have to clamp the clamp stand. Just open it slightly more than the length of the hone and it will sit in there securely without having to bother with any clamping or unclamping.

I went ahead and purchased the 8000 grit Superstone with stand. Hopefully it will arrive this weekend.

Thanks for the input gentlemen.

Hope it works well for you

I like my 12k Nani on the stand but I made a block with a rubber surface that elevates all my hones. Once wet I simply push down on the hone and wiggle it a but and it's stuck on there. The metal stands I strictly use for diamond plates and are a must have for those in my opinion.



I got lucky and found a roll of rubber so I made a lot of these blocks. Passed out all but the 2 I have here. Did my work bench in rubber too. If I hadn't been so lucky or if you want to make 1 of your own I would suggest getting a sheet of rubber gasket material at the local auto parts store. The other thing is you can adjust the height by using thicker piece of wood.
Like Phrank I like to grab and go and with this block I can grab my Nortons, stick em down, flip em, toss them back in the well, change to what ever with this simple solution. Shown in the picture is my Zulu Grey. Something about those metal clamping stands makes my naturals shake with fear :<0)

I purchased a Suehiro 20k stone just for the nice rubber base for my Naniwa's.

Exactly Richard.
Chaps, save yourselfs time and frustration tyring to make a holder and just use the toshi dai that comes with the Gok 20k
