You might also check Congress Tools if you're shopping around... at least get an idea on how the pricing compares.
 
I was planning on getting a 120 & 220 SiC just to try, but have no knowledge on these particular stones/company.

Either way.... I bought a bunch of stones to play with many years ago... I just went to Home Depot, bought a strip of aluminum, cut to length, made a 45 deg. pass on either end with a belt sander, and glued the stones with 3M-77 spray...

... it was pretty simple. (Don't ask how they did, it was a long time ago.....). :confused:
 
Interested to see what you think. They are both aluminum oxide stones so the differences I would guess are in the binder.
