Thread: New Chosera 1k...Slurry Stone Question

Hello All,

So i just received my Chosera 1k from SRD (Thx Lynn!) and I notice that it came with a pretty large slurry stone. I was just wondering if anyone might know the grit rating of this slurry stone (is it 1k as well?)..

The reason I ask, is because I had an idea to use the slurry stone as it's own stone. In other words, I would hold it in my hand much like I would a coticule bout, and use it maybe for warped blades & the like. Has anyone ever attempted this and if so, how did it work?

Thanks guys!!

The dressing stone is 600 grit.
Not actually a slurry stone, according to the producer it is meant to clean and dress the surface of the 1K stone when needed.

Edit:
I would not recommend honing on it, it is very chippy and could release chunks of it very easy, possibly ruining your edge somewhat

Understood...Thanks a lot for the info! So it may not be the best thing to use as a dedicated "little" bevel setter after all....

I threw away mine as soon as I unpacked the stone, it is useless.

My apologies, I edited my reply while you responded.
No, I would not use that dresser for honing.
I have used it for slurry to speed things up a bit, but the Chosera is fast enough as is in my opinion

I figured as much...I think I'll just use it as a paperweight..

Thanks guys!!

I've used it as a mini hone. It worked just fine. Bevel the edges just like a regular full size hone, and it doesn't let off any chunks. I used it between dmt 325 and the 1k on a razor that needed serious work. And I just used it to see if it could be done. Unecessary in most cases, but it can be used that way.

Earlier today I was looking around for info on this. Seems like most use it to refresh the surface or not at all.

I've tried making a slurry with it once or twice.

I am using it for dressing my Chocera 1000 and to be honest If i would need any rougher work in my opinion you would need proper size hone otherwise it would be neverending story.
