Thread: I finally cut my hones in half! Worked out great!

So there was a thread about a year ago about cutting Norton hones in half with a hacksaw that had caught my interest as I like the idea of narrower hones, and having twice the hones to work with.

Well my grandpa happened to have bought a diamond blade tile cutter about 6 months ago because the price was the same as renting it. This is the model Mastercraft Wet Tile Saw | Canadian Tire He was lucky enough to get the saw for $50

It worked prefectly, no chips and didn't take long at all. The two hones I cut were the Norton 220/1k and 4k/8k.
I cut the 4k/8k directly down the middle, but I cut the 220/1k with a 1/4 inch offset, and I am using the 220 side of the larger half as a lapping stone, I used a hacksaw to cut grooves in it, and it works better then I expected actually, and I did lap it after cutting the grooves on 180 grit paper and then 320.
