Hopefully it won't take too long, I've gotten a lot done with sandpaper. Even if it does take a while though, at least I won't be burning thru sandpaper $5 at a time.

I had considered getting the XX coarse, but I also ordered a Norton 4k/8k and I didn't know if it would be too coarse for the 8k, and I could only afford 1 DMT right now.

I still just want to know what kind of stone this is. It's driving me nuts.

I think I'll just consider it and use it as a final polisher off the 8k until I hear otherwise.
