Best holder for thinner diamond plates

[robertesq1]

I have a "universal" rubber stone holder which is made for thicker stones... and I am shaving pieces of the rubber off if I am not careful Is there one which is specifically designed for the metal plates?

What size are the plates?

SharpeningSupplies.com has a "DMT Bench Stone Holder with MagnaBase™ Adapter" that you might look at.

I have a universal stone holder. Using the rubber feet that the DMT plates come with, they sit proud of the stone holder and I have no issues clearing the stone holder with the blade.

Or cut a couple pieces of thin cardboard and use as a base under the plate. Problem solved.

Yeah I'd just put some appropriate shim material under the stone to "thicken" it.

The Naniwa stone holder has a shallow indent and my diamond plates sit about a sixteenth above.
