unfortunately yes .
Now i am in point of that dmt 1200 is slower and does leave similar edge to 8000.i check the bevel and you won't see scratches anymore.
before when i start to use dmt 1200 you could see clear all scratches sometimes without magnification on the blade. now with 100x you can't see anything.
i am sure people will use their dmt's more and end up in my situation then this thread will make more sense.
