i grabbed a 800 to use as my chip workhorse ..lol... ive been happy with it so har , only dislike i have and it is personal is these king stones are thirsty !!!! mine drys up quick and am adding water non stop it seems , even after a long stroke !!
to answer your ? on the 1200 king !! i dont know why you couldnt use it for bevels !! most people use a 1k stone but you might just need a bit more circles or strokes but results should be similar , its price and convenience vs how you wanna handle it ... as Glen posted each stone is different .. i use a nani1k cause i needed a bevel setter and wish i would have waited and went with a Chosera 1k ...Last edited by gooser; 03-04-2013 at 06:47 PM.

Thanked: 177Lower grit stones need lots of water and lapping. I first used a 220k Norton to take out chips. What a pain, now I use a 325 dmt(that I use to lap my stones) then I use the 600 grit(fine ) dmt then the 1200 dmt(extra fine). Nice and easy, a drop of dish soap and water. No lapping. It takes longer to lap than hone at that grit. 220 dishes out like crazy, and the 1k king and Norton also. If I didn't know better I would say that's the way it is. And what is your time worth? I have heard of guys honing chips out with a 4k for 3 days because they didn't want to buy a dmt or 1k stone. Go the route and you are DONE. You will not have to buy it again.
