The Shapton heavy stone holder provides a stable base to hold Shapton's GlassStone Ceramic Waterstones. It is made of rubber and glass so it can be rinsed off easily and there's nothing to rust. This holder weighs in at a very hefty 4 pounds to ensure that your stones won’t budge when you are either flattening or sharpening. I always use this holder with my Shapton stones and I recommend that you do too.
Designed for use with all Shapton GlassStones.
3.5" wide x 10" long.
Weighs 4 pounds.
Nothing to rust or wear out.
Gives you a stable base for your stones.
Carrier holds stone rock solid making it quick and easy to put a razor sharp edge on woodworking tools.
This is a very nice piece of kit that holds the Shapton stones very stable while using them. They stay in place; one less variable to contend with when trying to sharpen.
I bought a second heavy holder along with 4000 and 8000 grit Shapton Glass stones and a Shapton Pond to round out my sharpening station. I already had a 16,000 grit Shapton stone, one heavy holder and a RC diamond plate. The two heavy holders fit perfectly in the pond. Their weight along with the weight of the pond keeps everything nice and stable and the pond contains the mess. The heavy holders elevate the stones thus giving room to use the stones especially when flattening the backs of chisels. They hold the Shapton stones solidly in place while sharpening chisels and plane irons. Being made of glass plates encased in rubber they are easy to clean and will never warp or rust. I feel they are a must have if using the Shapton Glass Stone system. I find sharpening to be tedious at best and anything that helps make it less so is worth the money.
I have had the stone for a while and fought holding it in place. I finally bought the holder and it does a great job. Should have gotten it with the stone to begin with.
od product, but overpriced
