Thread: Jnat Finisher honing with Water Only

I've got some combinations that don't play well together, however light you let them touch they will scratch.
Some can be tricky and others are smooth and easy to use.
Did Maksim test them together?
Small scratches I wouldn't worry about, it's only cosmetic but a scratch might well mean that you now have some toxic particles in you slurry, as soon some of mine scratch I clean everything and start over.

the sharp corners of a hard slurry stone can dig into the base stone when too much pressure is applied
