Okay, "pet peeve" meter now registering safe levels...
While dreaming...
Or if you buy a set of four (you pick the four) you get 45% off
the one by one price. 50% if you buy five....


Now (Don) that would be a Christmas sale
but I doubt there is that much margin.

The Naniwa Value Pack - 5000, 8000 & 12000 Grit Stones is
not too bad a package.... If I did not own a Norton already... not that
my Norton combo is not a fine hone well followed by my Naniwa 12K...
Anything coarser than this kit might better be a DMT -- (my silly opinion)
