Shapton Glass Stone 6000 Grit 5mm

Shapton Glass Stone 6000 Grit 5mm Description

Shapton GlassStones differ from other waterstones GlassStones are made with finelygraded ceramic cutting media which wears much more slowly than aluminum oxide and silicon carbide commonly found in manmade waterstones This results in a similar thickness of material lasting 45 times longer The GlassStone media is very dense and does not absorb water This avoids maintaining them in water or waiting for them to soak prior to use Shapton uses a binding matrix which is carefully engineered to reveal sharp new cutting media for efficient stock removal while retaining some of the worn media which provides a simultaneous polishing effect This balance results in a better edge with less work Shaptons precision ground flat glass base lets you use all of the media right down to the glass Other waterstones typically crack and break as they become thin Shaptons GlassStone Series are competitively priced longwearing require less flattening no soaking and cut quickly
