Hi all,

I have only discovered this thread just now, 3 months after the last post 😆

How do you guys get your Shapton paddles made? I read about getting blank paddles from WE and then sending them to CKTG who will mount the stones. But I find nothing about this on the CKTG site and also nothing about blank paddles on the WE site.

I did a microscope progression with the WEPS diamonds, then the WEPS ceramic 1200/1600 and jumped to the Chosera 5K, which I’m writing up on my blog (hopefully it will be ready in a couple of days..)

This is what I had been thinking about for some time, since I have the 100/200, 400/600 and 800/1000 diamond stones, as well as the 1200/1600 ceramic stones. What would be the best (and efficient) Chosera stone to continue with? 5K or lower? (Couldn’t find that on your blog, Tom.) And what would be the best Shapton stone to continue with after my full sequence with the WE stones? 5K as well, as suggested by the grit comparison chart?

Thanks,
Mark
