I'm brand new at this but first wonder about the size of the stone one can use...thanks Bill

rock size is limited due to tumbler size (obviously). Largest single stone I have polished was (it turns out) to be a stony meteorite 8x8x4 cm. All others were smaller. It takes a LONG time to do the polishing and multiple phases -- running about 3-4 weeks of constant tumbling in various grits. This is not an "easy" project, but worth while ultimately. JSH

I I would say around 1 1/2 inch diameter. Also I have observed that the rocks only need a couple days tumbling after the first grit. (7 days required on the course grit). Good luck

Sorry I didn't see this question prior to now. Yes, this stone can handle that with ease. Enjoy.Joe

I'm not sure of the numbers but you would definitely want a finer grit to finish off your blade. That probably doesn't help you at all though LOL. I went ahead and bought a better stone. You can find it here if you're interested Norton 614636855653 IB8 1-by-2-by-8-Inch Fine/Coarse India Combination Bench stone

I use a 300 & 600 grit stone before I use this and am very pleased with the results. I hope that helps.

We do offer a larger size river stone and we could put this graphic to one of those so if that is what you would like. you could purchase one of the larger stones and when you send us a message with you pets name and death year just include that you would like this graphic. B00F6C4WYC just copy and paste this into the search bar and the larger river stone will come up. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Sure, I can't see a reason why it wouldn't work for stones. You just have to use the correct medium for rocks.

I do not use a stone,I use the small smith sharpener and it fits fine,you could most likely use any stone made for a sheath,it is fairly large

Thank you for asking the question, but this set comes pre-assembled to us. Your best bet may be to find each shape in the stone that you seek, and order separately. thanks, Amy, Cleos Fine Things

In all of the lots I have purchased, I haven't gotten any that size. There are more smaller size from the size of a pencil eraser and smaller. Raw stones on Amazon do come in larger sizes but need to be worked

It is definitely not 1 inch. I bought one a few years ago as I wanted a thick stone. When I received it I noticed it was about a half inch thick.I should have returned it as the posting was incorrect but I have a friend who wanted it. Good thick pizza stones are hard to come by. I have 1 that's about 15 years old and I love it but they don't make them anymore.

Without the Triangle Sharp Maker, or something very similar to keep the angle equal to the edge already on the blade, this stone will be very difficult (or impossible) to use properly because it is so fine. You probably need a courser stone (or set of stones) to sharpen the blade first, otherwise it is so fine it will be like trying to cut down a redwood with a scalpel. This stone is really only good for turning a very sharp knife into an insanely sharp knife. Think of it as a "fine polish" for your blade's edge; it won't reshape, grind, or remove any chips or nicks in the blade.

Yes, please tell us the diameter of this pizza stone. Can't order without knowing that.

Oil is best but water with drop of dish soap will work. It's a decent stone.

I filled one with masonry pointers. the tools I use to finish the joints in brick and stone work and its about 4". the other I filled with chisels and its about 6". I think its only limited in diameter to the amount of rolls you can make with it. What I mean is bigger things make a single larger roll than if you fill it with smaller things and make a tighter roll.

What is a stone? Do you mean rocks and minerals. Depends. Get some of all and see which one works for you. Kind of hard to answer that question when you say "stones" That sort of answer here is going to be highly qualified by the authors experience and by what they consider successful. If you follow our advise for a particular bit, you would be almost certain to not get the best bits for your application. Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and spend some money experimenting. Small bits are pretty cheap anyway.
