They're really not that expensive. The cheapest thing you can get that will do the job is the 220/1k and 4k/8/ norton combos, which at the absolute cheepest runs about $115.
A 1k, 4k and 8k shapton + a 325 grit DMT for lapping and replacing the norton 220 will run about $100 more than that without even attempting to find a good deal, just taking a link from one of the sponsors on this site.
I got in on a goot sale a while back and got the 1k, 4k, 8k AND 16k shaptons to take me well past what the nortons are capable of for only $205, plus another $40 for a 325 grit DMT of amazon. I could have skipped the 16k and only paid $20 or $30 more than I would have to go the norton route.

That's a good question. Maybe the engineering? There great though! Howard could answer this question. He knows a lot about Shaptons. If you think Shapton are expensive. Take a look at some of Japan Tool's Nakayama's. 2000.00 USD, I'm not kidding.Originally Posted by richmondesi
I would think for that much, it would be self honing....ha....

I always try to bring every kind of stone to the get togethers to people can see and try them all. I did quit bringing the Slate ones............Randy, I have a full set of Naniwas that I will gladly bring to the MN meetup! That way SRD can make more money!!
Have fun,

I'm just such a fan of the Naniwas that I suspect for many, to try them is to buy them.

Wow. Those prices are significantly cheaper than what I've seen on Shaptons. If I ever run across a deal like that, I'll definitely buy it!

One of the forum members here by the name of jendeindustries runs his own business by the same name and recently had a a 25% off sale on all shaptons for SRP members. http://straightrazorpalace.com/vendo...ndustries.html
As far as I know, that sale is over, but it can't hurt to send him a PM and see if he can make you a deal. The worst he can do is say no.
My 4k ended up being back-ordered for an extra 10 days or so, but I got top notch service from him before and after the sale, and I would gladly work with him again, even at full price.
