    Default Buying Shapton Professional ceramic stones

    I would like to purchase some Shapton Professional ceramic stones, however all of the online places I have tried have been overseas stores that don't ship to Australia. Can anyone provide details of an Australian seller or an online store that ships to Australia?

    Note: I am after the following - 1000/5000/8000/12000.

    Cheers Bottlebolt.

    I've just ordered some Shapton M5 ceramic stones from Stu.....he has a wide range of brands and grits, at a variety of price points. Very knowledgeable about the products he sells.

    Shapton professional. : Tools from Japan, Japanese woodworking tools direct from Japan.

    Use the little drop box on the left hand side to set currency to A$.

    Very economical to ship here as well.

    Thanks for your prompt feedback. I placed an order with Stu. Awesome service, he replied to a couple of email questions within minutes. I would highly recommend his store for anyone else looking for any tools or accessories from Japan.

    Stu is a right rate guy. They don't come better. He has first hand experience of many/most of the stones available (and some that are not known outside Japan) and provides excellent advice. You cannot go wrong when buying from him.

    I dunno about 'cut' Derek, but your 'cutters' should be either in the mail or in your hands...
