Thanked: 11Damn picture post limit!
This story begins like so many others before it... It came from ebay... looking like this..
It was a fair bit on the tiny side compared to some of the other stones I've been working with lately:
After a bit of time with an equally miniscule 725 grit diamond stone:

Ease up on the beveling. All you have to do is round the edges a little bit, most of my stones have bevels of 0.5-1mm. Pictures can be deceiving but it looks like you gave the edges a 45 degree angle which could mean they still need a little bit of rounding. I've seen even bigger bevels, but not many
All you have to do is a few passes with a strip of 240grit sanding paper.
I don't think anyone has ever made this many pictures of Guangxi stones before.

Thanked: 11I know from doing engine work that smoother is stronger and reduces the likely-hood of fractures and cracks. I also think that it's aesthetically pleasing. I did bevel at 45 degrees. I wasn't too concerned about the loss of surface area I will take your advice and round it a bit more.
Is there such a thing as too many pics? I mean, I could write more and you can imagine it, or I can post pics and you, the viewer, can draw your own conclusions.

Sorry if I sounded a bit harsh. Now they're at 45 degrees they probably don't need more than just 1 pass because there are no chips.
