is the bottom flat and exactly like the top so that it doesn't matter which side of the stone you use?

No, it is *not* flat on the bottom. There are some raised ridges on the bottom. Glad I coiuld help!

Yes, I have no problem with it lying flat. I use it on a smooth quartz countertop.

The bottom is flat, but, the one I ordered arrived with a chipped rim. It had to go back and I never reordered.

No, it is a whetstone on a steel plate. That never needs flattening as in natural or man made stones. You will need to get a "ceramic flattening stone" to dress up your other whetstones.

The grid is flat to the extent that it can be flat. Note the comment about the center ring from Word Smith. If it is slightly too long or too wide for your sink it may ride up a bit on the sides and not lay flat on the sink bottom. But the grid itself is flat. Measure carefully.

gemstones with a large enough flat surface, yes. Rounded stones very difficult

Nope, it is flat at the bottom just like the picture looks.The entire reason we bought this unit is that it is all SS rather than having a PTFE or other coating.We like it a lot and the flat bottom has been no problem.Use it about 2-3 times a week.

Yes, both sides are the same including the top and bottom so you can use it lengthwise or widthwise

It has a flat bottom -- at least mine does. Love it! Use it "all the time" for my large family.

No, the bottom is rounded and can only be used as a bottom piece. I actually purchased two of these to made a 5-piece.

there are engravings of the model on the bottom. i cannot say it is not a smooth bottom however i personally do not put it on my countertop which is granite as i am afraid it might scratch the surface.

The stone is not fastened to the base, because it is dual-sided and will be flipped while using it. You don't really need a base to use the stone, but there is a ridge in the base that surrounds the stone and the stone sits into.

The wok does have a flat bottom. It's not super heavy, so it can slide around on the grates of my Viking cooktop.

If you mean flat as parallel to the shaft. The answer is yes. If not I'm not quite sure what your asking.

it has a flat tool you can apply heat to any shape stone. So yes it can apply odd shaped stones.
