    Would you post scans of the whole catalog? I'd love to know more about my 200. It's from the Manchester England branch of the company.

    Unfortunately, I don't own the catalog. I only glean my information from online scans, and that's all I have from this particular catalog issue.

    Thanx,

    That particular scan is from a current online auction, and I think it's against the rules to post the link at this time. However, you could always go to your favorite online auction site and search the keywords "Carborundum catalog." I'm sure you'll find what you need. =)

    It depends on what you consider to be fine. Most people don't consider barber hones to be finishers because, though fine, they cut fast. Put it this way, the Carborundum 200 Aloxite is comparable to a Swaty and either will improve the edge off of a Norton 8k. It won't produce an edge as good as a Chinese hone, a typical coticule, or an Escher/Thuringian.
