estesbubba Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 The Shapton 1000-5000-8000 set is $260 whereas buying each individually is $220. Either my math sucks or the set has something extra I'm not seeing. Am I missing something?http://www.craftsmanstudio.com/category-s/268.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Moore Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 Are they going to add shipping times three on the singles and once on the combo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodenskye Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 Mike your math is fine, and it does seem strange why a set would be more. Maybe call them and find out if something is missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim L. Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 FYI- you can get the Japanese version of the same three stones from Stu at Tools From Japan for about $150 total plus shipping. Shipping cost from Japan to Ohio was about $30 when I bought my set last year. They work the same as the US version, they just cost less because the Japanese water stone market is much more competitive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Cancelleri Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 Keep in mind though, Shapton will not warrantee the stone if there is an issue on "grey market" stones Sent from my 831C using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tpt life Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 @Brendon_t This may be on me. I think I blended parallel threads in my mind. Trip posted at length in the last 72 hours on this very subject. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendon_t Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 I'm confused how this got all edited to hell. There was some good info in here, was coming to see more but it's all gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drobe011 Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 On the 7th of April of this year I was looking at their site considering purchasing some of the buck bros wooden handled chisels. The price for the 6 separate chisels was $52.80. The price for the 6 piece set was $72.50.I contacted them via email about it. Received a reply within 24 hours stating they had a glitch on their web page and would have it fixed.Did not buy any of the chisels.David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
