Thread: naniwa

I'm +1n with Utopian. I too have the full set of Naniwa's and Norton's. I even have a few old Norton Oil stones. The Naniwa's are faster cutters than the Norton's. I'd say do 10 - 15 laps on the Naniwa, and test. As Ron said, you need more lapps to set the bevel, then I do 10 -15. I finish on a Nakayama, or Escher. Max uses Naniwa's almost exclusively now. He does quite a bit of resto, and has a good deal of experience with them...
