Thread: BOI-HEMOTH TURKISH OILSTONE Redux

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 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.

The razor I used was not the best for testing. It is very hard steel. I was just curious because none of my other stones (Cotis, J-Nats, Eschers) could polish this Sheffield "Best Silver Steel". And I realize this terminolgy was sometimes used as a sales tool. I would be happy to send the razor to you to check out. It's worth a look see. The novaculite was the direction to go with it. 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?
