Thanked: 13249
Okay lets back up a bit and explain why these recomendations came about
The Norton 4/8 gained its rep early on when they were made in the US
Sometime around 2009ish the production of the 4k moved to Mexico and the hone was quite rough and needed quite a bit of "Work" to get it smoothed up
Sometime around 2012ish the production of the 4k was moved to Italy and the hone was much better again, still not quite as good as the early US made, but nowhere near as bad with the Mexico made 4k
The 8k never changed to my knowledge
What does the box say or the hone ???
The voids in the Mexico made 4k are nearly double that of the American and Italian
That my friend is the rest of the story
ps: During that time period you can find reference to all this on the forumLast edited by gssixgun; 01-01-2022 at 02:20 AM.
