Thank you!

The one from the top link is correct, but you can save some cash by getting it from here....DMT Dia-Sharp 8x3x3/8 in. Diamond Plates I got a couple DMT's from them a few weeks ago, and not only were their prices the best, but shipping was free as well.

Edit: Their free shipping promo is for all orders over 75 bucks. Those plates are heavy, so shipping isn't cheap.

yeah, and if they don't have the chinese 12k that's all i want besides the dmt (maybe i'll get a little holder for my stones though, if it's cheap.. )

Even with a $14 holder it would only be $59 =P

I guess I could do this....

DMT8c + (2) Stone Holders + $3 tape measure lol = 77.62

Or

Local Woodcraft:

DMT8c = $65 after taxes


So $12 and extra wait worth (2) holders and a tape measure, I guess so lol

Thanks for the link & the tip on the $75 free shipping (I saw that site earlier but skipped due to shipping)

Bought the DMT8c & 2 holders (1 for norton 1 for chinese 12k) & a silly tape measure $77

I also bought a Chinese 12k large size for $35 off of woodcraft


$110 more dollars... you guys are killing me (and I admit I already had the (2) nortons lol)

I hear ya, brother. I'm trying to talk myself out of buying a shapton 16k right now.

The Dia Sharp are the continuous diamond stones and the other one is their "interrupted" stone which I call "holy stones" due to their holes. You can use either for lapping (Coarse grade) but I like the continuous diamond stones.
