The 2k pro and even the 1.5k pro is a completly different animal than the 1k and the "jump" is not what it looks like on paper.
I only have HSS steels on turning tools and then I use a Tormek or DMT options. Hope this helps.

A1=A2?

Are you saying that the 2k pro could be the middle stone between
the 1000 and the final polishing stone? Well of course it could, but would
it really reduce the time on the final stone if used as middle stone?

The norton 4k is not a splash and go stone as far as I know.

Thanks.
