So I got cocky and tried the trans Arkie...
Yeah, that killed the edge. And as the label on the Arkie proclaims "the best in the world", and my rock beat it...I reckon my rock is pretty good. :p
(much more testing to come...after I knock another mm or two off the top of the shale.)
You're just getting to the fun part now. Remember that when it comes to the performance of a natural, lapping is everything. Even a good rock with a very coarse lap will cut more coarsely than it's potential
Glad I live near that field here in KY...project for tonight...gonna put the tile saw to useQuote:
