I think soHmmm…
I located a bbw for 108AUD but it’s another 50AUD in transport and taxes. Would you consider ~$103USD a reasonable price for an 20cm bbw?

I ordered one, but little did I know that it will take a 5 weeks to deliver!Atoma 140 is a must have, my one has got to be 6-7+ years old with no signs of death. Its been through countless washita, charnleys and still flattens, cuts steel effortlessly.
You won't be disappointed on that. I do wish we in the UK have rockstars at some point and I am not talking about the musical kind.
Diamonds are also a man's best friend.
I got my 1000 rockstar from eBay for less than £50. He also has some 320 I'm tempted by.Atoma 140 is a must have, my one has got to be 6-7+ years old with no signs of death. Its been through countless washita, charnleys and still flattens, cuts steel effortlessly.

They’re listed in Amazon AU for 49AUD… I’ve had one in my cart but I don’t need oneI got my 1000 rockstar from eBay for less than £50. He also has some 320 I'm tempted by.

Can I start sharpening in my Shapton Glass and Rockstar stines (brand new) straight out of the box, or do I need to wait for the Atoma to lap the stones and ensure that they are flat from the outset? I don’t really want to pay for another lapping / flattening stone in the interim… I have all of my sharpening stones and wouldn’t mind getting some practice soon.
That’s precisely all I need to do at this stage - thank you!I didn't lap my Glass stones.
Your lower grits will dish more depending on how much you use them, the higher grits less so. Personally, I'd use them. I might not go crazy until I got my plate but I wouldn't hesitate to do a couple knives. Especially if all you need to do is touch-ups on the higher grits.
Even without using Atoma, you can achieve a completely flat surface by rubbing three whetstones against each other.I ordered one, but little did I know that it will take a 5 weeks to deliver!

I used my Rockstars right out of the box (a lot), tho like I said earlier in the thread, I did spring for an Atoma just to tidy them up a bit.I ordered one, but little did I know that it will take a 5 weeks to deliver!

@JPAU is dead set on spending money on this. We gave them all the warnings.Or buy a decent, cheap Chinese diamond plate, adds a black acrylic base and strong double tape, and voila!, you have your 'Atoma'
