    There is no part of the DMT, and if there is, they are much smaller than the stone particles so there are of no consequence... Slurries can be made using a surface like the DMT that don't release particles or with a Rubber/Nagura that does... Even what you make the slurry with can add a variable...

    Then Hone with that slurry, the same as you would have without but check the edge more often, and dilute it out as you get closer...
    The slurry acts as a force multiplier....it increases cutting power, on the lower grits, and also seems IMO to even up the finish faster... On the higher grits the evening up aspect, is what I am after, that seems to get me a smoother edge...


    Keep in mind that all these variables are what caused huge problems with the Coticule threads,,, Slurries are tools, or as Jimmy likes to say just another arrow in the quiver... just the thickness you started with and how you dilute them can change my results from yours... That is why I put it in the advanced section
