Details
Each stone is comprised of a 5mm-thick glass backing plate fused to a 5mm-thick stone. This innovative design uses tempered float glass as a foundation for each stone, giving it a degree of dimensional stability and strength while ensuring that all the abrasive is usable. The finishing grits (16,000 and 30,000) of the Shapton Stone System leave a polished surface free of scratches creating a mirror-finished, razor-sharp edge.
We recommend purchasing and using the Shapton Stone Holder (sold separately) because it provides a secure platform that protects the stone while maintaining a good working height throughout the sharpening process.

the 16,000 is a "MUST HAVE"
For sharpening any plane or chisel all you need is a 1,000 grit and a 16,000. With these two stones you can sharpen a properly tuned plane, such as a WoodRiver, to give you a shaving that is 0.005 of an inch. If you ever want to see how this is done stop by a WoodCraft store and go to one of the Rob Cosman demos. There may be some who have attended Rob's classes that can help too.
