Thread: Dedicated Bevel Setting ....

And how can a Chosera be considered a "dedicated" bevel-setter, when the SS isn't?

The difference is use, it really depends on your personal use factors, if you read that last few sentences of the original post you will see what I mean...

Most people on the forum most likely don't need a "Dedicated" bevel setter...

As to the Chosera -vs SS
The Chosera is just "Mo Better" it is every thing the SS is only more so, bigger, more cutting power, harder, do most people need a $100 bevel setter ???? probably not...

BUT

Lets say you are a Coticule fan or a One Stone Hone fan or even a J-nat/Nagura progresion fan then I doubt there a better stone to start those systems with than the Chosera....

It is all perspective
