its relevant to say that this is the pink 220 made of alumina with a hard binder. the regular naniwa 220 is a green silicon carbide stone that has more power but also wears faster. imo that one is a very good stone for it's cost, it's about on the level of a sigma select 220 which costs twice as much.
How long does it need to soak in the watter? I've bought one fiew days ago and yesterday i try tonuse it but after 1 hr of soaking in watter it still soaks up watter in seconds. Even after soaking it in watter for 14 hrs still soaks watter in 5, 6 seconds. I am disappoonted in this stone.
@@thecooksedge No, i bought it elsewhere. I was just looking for a feedback related to my experience. It's a fast cutting stone and great feedback when sharpening, but it drives me crazy that i have to add watter like every 10 seconds. This way takes too much time for finishing a sharpening session than usual comparing to my Suehiro Cerax #1000. From what i understand soaking it for longer than 1hr may cause it to crack in time. What i need to know is if this is normal for this stone to keep soaking watter during sharpening session after being soaked in watter for 45-1hr.
the issue is that the water isn't staying in the stone, which is not uncommon for such a low grit stone. the solution is to use a laceur to seal the sides of the stone so it holds water better. or get a different stone. for 99% of users i would tell you a shapton glass 220 is better. @@TocilarulTimisorean
I think your video is great

I have this stone and it's a fast, aggressive stone.
yes it's a fast cutter but soaks too much water.

Hi Fabian, this stone requires 20-30mins of soaking. Did you buy the stone from us?

@@TimJohnson-x1othat's a good idea with laquer, I hope it works on my Naniwa economical 120 grit stone
