Product Information:

The softness of a waterstone allows it to quickly develop a fast cutting abrasive slurry. That’s a real plus for honing, but a negative when you start to develop shallow indentations and irregularities in the surface. Norton’s flattening stone, when rubbed across your waterstone’s surface, quickly flattens and refreshes the face. Its coarse grit silicon carbide promotes maximum cutting while the diagonal grooves provide a path for material removal during the process. Stone measures 9" x 3" x 3/4" and includes a plastic case for storage and easy-to-follow instructions for use and maintenance.

  • 9" x 3" x 3/4" flattening stone
  • Quickly flattens and refreshes the face of waterstones
  • Coarse grit silicon carbide promotes maximum cutting
  • Diagonal grooves provide a path for material removal during the process
  • Comes with storage case

    Comments about Flattening Stone With Case :

    I saw some critical reviews of this product which almost lead me to not purchase it. They seem to me totally unfounded. This tool works just fine. Yielded a very flat stone with a decently smooth surface and worked efficiently.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

    Not worth it.

    • Humps the stone

    Comments about Flattening Stone With Case :

    I do not recomment this stone for flattening. I have used this stone several times and have always noticed that it humps up the middle of my sharpening stone. The problem is that it tends to roll from side to side as you push it back and forth. I use hand planes all the time and I need my shapening stone to be flat so that I get a good edge on the plane blade. I do, however, like to use the back side of this stone to get rid of nicks and dips in the edges of plane and chisel blades. I would not get this to use as a flattening stone, instead get a diamond or granite plate, not as cheap, but better in the long run and more for the money.

    Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    • Quiet

    • Leaves behind grit

    • Slow

    Best Uses

    • Paper weight

    Comments about Flattening Stone With Case :

    I have used this to grind a chip out of a 2 inch blade, It does dish out quickly. When I use it to flatten the 1000,4000, and 8000 grits this stone leaves its grit behind in the slurry. Not the best conditions for sharpening. The stone also cuts really slowly.

    Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Comments about Flattening Stone With Case :

    Embedded particles in my polishing stones. Took several hours with wet/dry paper on a piece of glass to get out. The thing dished out too easily. Get a DMT diamond stone for flattening stones. You'll be much happier.

    Comments about Flattening Stone With Case :

    I purchased the Norton as the water stone set. I watched the DVD and read all the instructions. I soak all the stones and flattening stone at the same time. I was very careful with all the stones and handling. When I went to lift the flattening stone out of the water it broke. It had not even been used yet. Very disappointing.
