Thread: I Found It Over There

Hadnt thought about modifying my current tile saw to use a bigger blade....genious....

As promised here are pictures of the Diorite I chopped up.

Note for the rockhounds, Diorite is identical to Granite in terms of composition. The difference been that Diorite is a lava flow, So it cools faster and produces smaller crystals. This one acts almost identically to my Trans black arkie. I've been avoiding the void at the end. But it just keeps polishing, It's finish on the razor is almost scratch-less. And it seems to be able to improve a 12K edge pretty well. I think my original 8K estimate was biased due to a 400 grit surface finish, Once I went to 600 then 1000 grit it lost almost all of it's scratch pattern.

HHT off the stone is a failure for me atm. It's very close, 5 laps on crox and 50 on leather and it's laser sharp. Might be that it's giving a small wire edge.
