Thread: Bevel setting and speed vs grit

I had a full set of the Pros and gave them up for the Shapton Glass. For me, the glass just gave me better feedback and were more consistent when honing every day with them. A lot of people use the Pros and how they work for you is really what matters. The one thing my experience has taught me is that the Norton 1K is probably the most aggressive and abrasive bevel setter out there (Not taking into consideration 220 stones which I use more for repair than actual bevel setting). It can be quick, but you can pay the price on both spine and bevel wear. This is especially prevalent with new people using uneven pressure until they get more efficient. For me, the Naniwa Chosera 1K is still the ticket although a 2K is close enough to get the job done. Both are quick cutters and very reliable.

Have fun.
