Looking for 6x1" diamond plate holder for work sharp precision adjust pro plates

[Hedonizmdan]

So as the title states I'm looking for a stone holder for 6x1" diamond plates. Recently got the new worksharp precision adjust pro. I'm loving it, looking to take my sharpening to a new level . I have a tormek style 10" powered whetstone I use for reprofiling. Then I move to my new precision adjust pro to do mirror edges or finish to desired grit. So at the moment I have 15 6x1" plates that I would like to somehow organize from diamond coarse to fine then lapping film blanks coarse to fine. Anyone know of a case/ holder in this size? I have checked gritomatic, they have some 6 plate holders and I believe a 12? Before I order multiple bags cases, I would like to know if any of you guys know of a better solution. Thanks Dan

If you sharpen in your shop or garage, a magnetic strip knife holder on the wall would work. Harbor Freight has an 18 inch holder for $5. It's not very strong but it will hold the plates just fine.

I also cut a piece of pine 2x4 to the size I wanted and fastened two strong magnets to it. The magnets hold the plates when I feel like sharpening by hand.

This is my first post so I haven't figured out how to post pictures yet.

Thanks for the idea I like it, I wanted something like a storage box or a wrench roll. I ended up coming up with this idea. Made by one of our fellow members on here. I think it's the perfect solution.

A Gritomatic plastic stone holder box would be a great solution.

I have all three (6, 9, and 12). The plywood boxes are much nicer, especially for as many as 15 plates.

The major benefit of the plastic boxes is that you can store your stones wet, and you can even soak water stones (box and all) in water before you need to use them.
