I want a stone to maintain a Norton 4k/8k. Would this stone be okay?

If you have a Norton 4k/8k, then check out the following item: Norton Waterstone Starter Kit: 220/1000 grit stone, 4000/8000 grit stone, SiC flattening stone .. It shows the best stone for maintenance.. .the one you are asking about could not do the job very well.. maintaining that grade of stone requires some quality resurfacing ability. I would look for a 3/4 x 9 x 3 inch coarse-grit silicon carbide flattening stone for maintenance of waterstones.

My wife drills small stones and sea glass with a Dremel bit #7144. Any drill bit with a diamond tip end should do it. Depending on how think the rock is, the drill bits won't last too long.

I did, and it shattered. So, no. From what I've read, this is the way to go: http://www.amazon.com/Old-Stone-Oven-4467-14-Inch/dp/B0000E1FDA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1401731928&sr=8-1&keywords=pizza+stone

Yes it could be as long as you keep your stone good and wet and free of collectingdebree. Make sure to take your time

You would have to closely follow the instructions. I just wasn't able to keep up with it. It upset the balance of my tank but did clear it. I have 3 stones I no longer use b/c I am not diligent in the upkeep required to properly use the stone.

I own both the flattening stone and the diamond stone and I can't imagine using that flimsy small diamond stone to flatten my Japanese water stone. It just isn't the right tool for the job, and it wouldn't give you the results you need. See my review for what this stone is good for.

Bob Vila "Tool Junkie" is correct. Diamond-encrusted files is the safe way to go. Not only are you likely to dull the file on many semi-precious stones, you might cause your stone to chip. Consider practicing filing on a piece of glass first.

Yes, that should be fine. The security key/socket should accept a 1/2 in drive.

coarse on the orange side, fine on the grey side. Finish up on an Arkansas extra fine surgical black stone. Switched to Norton mineral oil for these new stones. The oil is safe for kitchen use.The Norton 614636855653 IB8 India 100/320-grit combination oilstone...

I can't answer that but it wouldn't flatten an old Norton oilstone of mine as the stone was just too hard. I think they have limited use? maybe softer kind of stones.

Mine burned out after being used for a while on wood. I suspect stone would be asking a bit too much of it.

That's really up to you Frank. It offers longer lasting sharpness and the finish won't wear off. A stone will take care of the edge of either steel.

Yes I belive so but it will take time and lots of work, it has no edge at all. You could easily mess it up if you don't know what your doing. You would have to start with a file not a sharpening stone.

As long as the shaft the stone is mounted on is the standard size, should be problem I would guess.

That's the setup I use. The ASRock boards are excellent quality. I run Elder Scrolls Online with max graphics and have had zero issues for months. I enjoy the ease of the graphical BIOS that ASRock has been using on these boards also.

You'll need at least 2 medium size or better 2 large size stones. I have a 10 gallon tank and 1 medium size stone works fine.
