The solution to this problem is to flatten your waterstone on a regular basis — i.e., prevent the problem so you don’t have to grapple with a bigger problem.
Pride Abrasives, a family run company, manufactures two sizes of flattening stones: a smaller 9″x3″ stone and a larger 10″ x 6″ stone.
Both flattening stones are made of a 120 hard abrasive, in a hard binder. That the the flattening stone will stay flat after years in use. Both stones are also ground flat after manufacture for a precise flat surface. This grinding process ensures a very flat reference but also slows down the abrasive action compared to unground stones. You also get a finer texture on your water stone than you would with an unground stone. This is a real boon when flattening polishing stones.
We personally prefer the larger of the two stones. It actually cuts a little slower than the smaller version because being bigger the waterstone is always totally on the stone and you get no edge action. But this also leads to a slightly flatter result which is why we prefer it.
These flattening stones offer a cost effective alternative to DMT diamond hard coat lapping plates for keeping your waterstones in tip top shape.
