Thread: Need some advice

I heard about happening to some folks, Naniwa problems. I guess I've been lucky. Plus, I have the SS glued to the base, I've had no problems at all. I lapp before and after each use, just a few figure 8's, like Glen does in his Videos, and it works for me. I know they can be problamatic, and I understand where your coming from....Did you consider the Chosera's. I've only used the 1k, like pretty much everone else. I haven't heard much on the other ones...I'm sure the Shapton's are faster. I didn't the edge off my Shapton GS 16. It was a bit harsh for me. That's what I was saying earlier, you have to find what's best for you...What fits....

I got the Chosera 1k about a month ago, I vore down over 50% of the SS 1K in little over a year. (Lots of honing out chips etc. on eBay specials)

I've tried Birnando's Chosera 5K and 10K a couple times, and have had them for consideration, but in the end it was a matter of price (I got the Pro 5K and 8K for $178 shipped to Norway)

I hope they work out for you. The best hones are the last ones you need to buy.
