I have the set of Pro Shapton glass stones and I am having trouble getting them flat between uses. What do you guys use on these?
Well it's probably not between each use but when I use my diamond plate to flatten, it creates such a suction between the stone and the plate, I can't move it. The plate advertised in Woodcraft's catalog for flattening the Pro stones is $329. That's ridiculous so I was looking for a better/cheaper way.A large diamond plate works great or sandpaper on a glass plate.
Mine don't need it very often but did you say you need to flatten between each use?
Think you may be a bit too aggressive?
Not really as it still has a dark place some 2" in diameter in the middle of the stone(s).Sounds flat to me.
Dark is just dirty, not necessarily concave.Not really as it still has a dark place some 2" in diameter in the middle of the stone(s).
