Whoa! That's a real boat anchor!:) Seriously, I would try to get it lapped down to a finer grit. This week there is a auction of a granite importer and they have a bunch of wheels, 4000+grit, that fit on what looks like an overpowered angle grinder. I hope to pick up some of each. Maybe I can send them to you to use?:) Or maybe you have a granite countertop fabrication company close to you?
As usual, I am envious.
Hope this helps,:)
LOL:rofl2: I had the same thought, or maybe a wheel chock. As you saw in the one pick I did raise a nice slurry. This cut steel very fast, I was suprised. After I cleaned all the slurry off and went with just oil she calmed down and started to polish. This stone could easlily be around 12 to 15K. I will be working on it with some wet/dry sand paper to shine her up some more.Quote:

HECK yes I'll send you a PM regarding the grinder wheels. We can work something out.
Oh and FYI guy's, I never judge the measure of man by the size of his hone...

You could sharpen a sword on it no doubt.
I know how you can get most of your money back ... if you decide to quarter it. That would leave the future clan with, a still sizable - rock.
How do you know it is not a Devonshire?
