I am breaking my promise to not start any new sharpening threads. Apologies. Another sharpening thread, but this one is different, I swear. I searched the forum and didn't get anything on this, so hopefully it's not an old discussion.
I found these Chosera stones in 220mm diameter round versions at Dieter Schmid and at another place in Great Britain. I would like to know if anyone has seen them anywhere with a more favorable exchange rate to the USD. https://www.fine-tools.com/naniwa-chosera-rund.html Yes, I know these are not that practical, but actually I want to build a powered wheel for flattening blades and setting bevels- like a Tormek, but flat. These would be perfect.
Also I notice they are selling Naniwa stones for the Tormek, which I would also be interested in trying out, but not with the excange rate for dollars to Euro. Anyone seen these anywhere else? http://www.fine-tools.com/Tormek.html I already have the Tormek 4000 grit waterstone, but these are actually made by Naniwa and come in 500, 800, 1000, and 4000. I would like to try the 500 and maybe the 1000. Notice that they don't have the indentations on the sides- they are flat. It seems they would be good for flattening backs.
