This is not a product review but a service review. The stone arrived with two surface defects, when I called about the defects the service rep replaced it with no questions. It took all of TWO minutes. The service was exceptional, thanks I won't forget

I just used mine to flatten the bottom of a el cheapo $30 Buck Bros. hand plane I bought 20 years ago that never worked. The bottom of the plane looks like a million bucks now and magnitudes flatter than any machined part I've ever run across in woodworking.

I went to their local store in Leesburg and brought my machinist straight edge as well as my feeler gauges to test how flat it really is. I did this because somebody said it was not flat as advertised in these reviews, glad I didn't listen. However, I did see the rough side he was talking about... It was the bottom of the Granite hahaha, dummy. The actual treated surface is extremely flat and smooth. Just adding my two cents so others know. Took pics but this place doesn't have a place for pictures.

I visited the local store with my machinist straight edge and feeler gauges and it was dead flat every axis I checked. The surface was very smooth like 5000 grit. Not sure what some dude was talking about it not being flat and smooth. I did see the bottom of the slab is not finished or flat, but it's the bottom duh! I almost didn't buy this because of some body's review on here.

Great sharpening tool. Flat and extremely smooth. I have it out all the time. Saves time. Use 2500 grit for final polish. Wet the granite and paper stays in place.

While certainly usably flat, it's nowhere near the advertised flatness, simply because of the surface texture. The peaks and valleys that make it very matte are larger than 0.0001". Mine also has a tiny fossil in it, which creates a tiny hole, big enough to feel if running a pencil over it. It's certainly good enough for use with sanding paper, but I wouldn't spray it with a 0.1 micron compound for ultimate lapping. The corners are dead square, which is a good thing. The sides are slightly off from the top, which is likely due to flattening the top without compensating the sides afterwards. But for the price, yes, it's excellent. Just don't expect a $300 surface plate and you'll be fine.
