Shapton pro and glass comparison
Sorry for writing another topic about this, but I am a bit confused after reading everything that I could find about the shaptons.
I have a set of Naniwa Stones 1-5-8-12k, and I am getting nice edges out of them. My problem with them is the warping, and the need of constant lapping.
So I thought that I will try a set of Shaptons, maybe I will like them more, I just don't know which set to get.
Those of you who have tried one or both, could you write about:
Which set has better feel and feedback while honing? Which set needs more lapping? Do they swarf or clog? How easy are they to clean? Which is faster? Is there a difference in consistency or ease of use?
I would buy the 2k-5k-12k from the pros, and the 2k-4k-8k-16k from the glass. The pros would cost me about 230$ shipped, and the glass would be about 300$. That is why I need a few opinions about them, because I will invest the money in the glass stones if it is worth the extra cash. I just need to get more fundsI mainly set bevels on a chosera 1k thats why I start at 2k.
Thanks in advance for your help!
