Where's a good place to get a extra extra course diamond stone? The ones that came with the KME are also not very wide, which makes sharpening tough with the Grizzly single bevel broadheads. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Swiftly,  just do an Internet search for Diamond Sharpening
Stones, you will find several places that sells them. Most are made by DMT, but not all charge the same.

You can't beat Ron for hands on instruction. Great guy and well worth the call. Don't hesitate, just do it.   :campfire:

Remember you are only trying to get the very edge sharp not the whole bevel.  With the old grizzly's I used a file first to get the bevel manageable.
Best advice on the whole thread. I spent a LOT of time before realizing this ^^^^^^^^

Holy crap, I am glad I found this thread I was about to gather up all my grizzlies and sell them. Just before Christmas I set up my KME to work on my grizzlies and I kept working and working and it seemed I was going no where. I have a dozen of the black 170s and thought I would see what I could do with them, first I couldn't get enough angle, so I just dealt with it and kept at it, finally got full contact on the edge but still cant get it sharp. It was just yesterday I picked up the whole setup and put everything away, I was actually going to list them in the classifieds because I was pretty much done trying to get any where. Now that I know to change the angle to 25deg, I will have to figure out how to accomplish that with a file. Good thread.

This one over in the "How to" section by JimB is really good too:
