I see out of stock when I click the link.

Out unfortunately. Ill probably just keep using my dmt 1200 grit until stock comes in.

Hi everyone,

I'm attempting to build up my set of water stones and have decided on the Shapton pro 1000, 5000,and 8000 stones. I already have the 5000 and 8000 sitting on my workbench but am...

I grew up in the southeast GA area (Camden county) but now live in the Savannah area. Case woodworking supply is just south of Savannah and has a pretty good selection of furniture grade ready to...

I may take you up on that offer if I still have problems.

I'm starting to think my problem is burr removal. When I raise a burr, my succeeding honing rarely (if ever) made it fall off or reduce...

Brian hit it on the head. Much more expensive in the long run. Also a pain to keep the paper stuck down and it wears down fast. I'd rather pay more now to save later. I'm very much so in the camp buy...

Echoing everyone else, you're cutting into your base line.

I'm leaning towards Shapton Pro 1000, 5000, and 8000 at the minute.

Well just to report back. I remembered I had some wet dry sandpaper from a unrelated project. I ran one of my plane blades through the gauntlet up to 2000 grit and what a difference. The finish from...

I live in Savannah Georgia area.

I was just looking at getting a water stone for polishing but I have some doubts it will keep my edges from rolling over so fast.

I tried working some of this advice with my 1/2 chisel from Lie Nielsen (smallest tool in A2 I could try). Took my time and really made sure each grit was removed by the next and got a nice finish on...

After really letting some of the advice sink in, I went and double checked my blades to see if the scratch patterns from the lower grit stones were showing. Turns out what I thought was just a...

Is it standard practice to remove the bur on each grit? That seems like that could be.very inneffecient removing the blade from the guide between grits.

Ive honed it a few times at 35 degrees since grinding back at 30 degrees. After not much use (less than a minute or two) I still have a folded back cutting edge. I can try again though. I plan on...

Black walnut

When I say grinded back, I should have stated I sat there for 20 minutes with my 200 grit diamond stone with my jig set for a lower angle (30 deg). They didn't get hot.

I have a hard time believing three blades would have the same problem that wasn't user oriented as high on quality as LN is. I'm just out of ideas.

Hi all,

I've been lurking for awhile but haven't got around to posting too much. I recently took the plunge and bought a few Lie Nielsen bench planes but am running into trouble with all three. ...
