another diamond tool retailer - Australian business.
http://www.precisiondiamondtools.com.au/
Not the easiest web site to navigate for the layman, but if you take a look at the products and prices in here and look at "honing plates" and "mulesing plates" you might be pleased at the prices/sizes.
They only use mono-crystals, and make their own products.
There is an 'off-catalogue' product that they are emailing me info on, a product that they retail and don't actually make. Its a flexible disk for an angle grinder that is embedded with diamond and silicon carbide.
Also sell reasonably priced Diamond compounds and pastes if thats your thing.
Have fun.

Thanks.
For plane irons which would you recommend ... the honing plate or the universal tool sharpener?

Notice they got router bits too, just the thing for making nice stone kitchen/vanity bench tops.

Ern, I'd check with the company, I made some enquiries with this company about 6 years ago, I think the diamond coating process was different with different products.
The result from memory was different coating thicknesses & evenness..
The beatings will continue until morale improves.

Thinking about it, I think 2 of the coating types were referred to as electroplated & electrolytic.
One apparently left an even coating across the substrate, the other resulted in a thicker coating at the edges & thinner in the centre of a face. Can't remember which was which though.
The beatings will continue until morale improves.
