Hmmmm Ya know I read that so many times in the early days I have a set of Nortons 220/1/4/8 cut in half that I split with another restorer...
I used it maybe 4 times, I honestly have never seen any advantage or disadvantage to the width of any hone... Excepting anything under about 1 inch, I think that would be a disadvantage..
I got into a heated argument with somebody about this very thing on another forum and actually used both sizes in a Vid with a Magic Marker test proving that a thin hone and an accomplished X stroke do the exact same thing on the edge... (No I did not post it I was in full SA mode hehehe)

Has anyone else actually tested this theory?????
