Loose Norton Bench Oil Stones
People who frequently use sharpening stones tend to prefer one of the Norton multistones because of convenient way that the Norton multistones contain the sharpening oil in a bath. However, if you are a home user with infrequent need for sharpening stones, then the Norton cased stones are very cost effective solution. Least expensive of all, but still quite effective, is just having one loose stone, like the ICS8 combination India stone which is at the bottom of this page. This Norton stone is more than adequate to handle the cutlery sharpening needs of most people. This is the same stone that comes with the IM-50, but without the case and sharpening oil.

Norton Hard-Translucent Arkansas Stone
| For those people who just want an Arkansas stone, without the multi-stone, Norton offers an 8" X 3" X 1/2" Hard Arkansas stone in a plastic box, the HTB83. We also sell the HR115 Hard Translucent Arkansas stone for the IM313 (see above), which is a good choice if you need a longer stone.

Norton Cased Combination Oil Stone IM2
| A lower cost alternative to the Multi-Oilstone is a single combination grit stone. The stone we offer is 11 ½" by 2 ½", by 1" thick. (Standard size 8" by 2" stones are not wide enough to accommodate many plane irons.) |

One side is a Coarse Crystolon stone, while the other face is a fine India stone. The stone comes in a two piece die-cast zinc box that keeps it clean and safe. Without an Arkansas stone you won't get the ultra fine edge needed to make a Norris plane sing, but for many woodworkers, this is as good a setup as any, and better than most.
