The crack did run diagonally. It runs all the way through the stone now, i wasn't expecting to beadle to cut it but i gave it a go anyway... wow, HNSB, these stones really don't cut do they!
If it had have cut i would have been left with 2/3 of the stone.. now i have none
After a 115mm diamond - glass cutting disk
Why did they have to use tempered glass, why not normal glass!Last edited by Brighty83; 08-02-2011 at 06:03 AM.

I found the thread I was thinking of: http://straightrazorpalace.com/honin...s-results.html
Unfortunately yours didn't turn out as well as Chris'.
Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.

It must be a 'Chris' thing to try and cut shapton stones.

I can imagine how it went:
1.) Hand slipping from the stone, momentarily lifting the forcefull grip of brighty the mighty
2.) Stone falling, accelerating at a staggering rate
3.) At the peak of acceleration the impact seems inevitable
4.) Brighty thinking: "come on gravity, you used to be cool" trying to prevent the worst
5.) Shaptons masterpiece shattering into pieces
6.) Brighty shaking one single angry fist thinking "damn you, Isaac Newton for inventing the gravity!"
I´m very sorry to hear your stone got hurt, though

When the new Shapton 1k arrives, simply close this chapter and shuffle on down to the rubber mat store.

At least it's replaceable. Will the glass separate ? Can you maybe glue the stone to another piece ?
The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.

Glue the back to a new base with epoxy resin. that should keep the glass from detaching. Originally Posted by Brighty83

Ditto this. I would do this with any glasstone, anyway. Thicker stones are always nicer to use. If you start with a glasstone, gluing it to a piece of quartersawn wood, or another (scuffed) thicker piece of cut glass with epoxy makes it a lot nicer to use. Originally Posted by Bruno

At least it wasn't a 30k. If I dropped my 30k I would buy a cheap pocket knife and go back to a carbo rock...
