I did too as for mine I got the coarse, md. and fine SiC plus the India. Then I just had to have a diamond stone that fit it. DM

Have you ever tried this Norton combo David ?I got the DMT nickle plate that fit the 313 unit in x coarse grit. It is slightly more coarse than Nortons SiC coarse. Now I have 5 grits that I can mount in this Tri- hone. DM
