Shapton RockStar stones are made with twice the thickness of the same fused alumina grades as the GlassStone HR series, but without the glass plate substrate. Like the GlassStone HR series these are designed to cut both modern tool steels and high carbon steel very quickly, but wear very slowly, so don't need to be flattened as often as traditional water stones.
Unlike traditional waterstones, Shapton glass stones do not require soaking and we recommend that they should never be soaked in water because this can lead to softening of the stone. All that is required is wetting the surface of the stone with water, using a spray bottle.
Each stone measures 210mm × 70mm × 10mm (8 1/4" × 2 3/4" × 25/64"). Available in grits from 320x to 16000x.
All are compatible with the Shapton field holder.
