    Default Up date on my ceramic tile.

    Well guys I tested it on a GD. this is my progression. Bevel set norton 1k, 4k, 8k, 12k super stone, then the tile. I looked at the edge with a microscope after each hone,and tile, and as you would expect the progression on the edge got better with each stone. The edge off of the ceramic tile was better than the 12k under the microscope. I stroped 100 laps, and test shaved. It was a good shave for a G.D. I will try it on my favorite W&B this week, and keep you updated. But as far as the tile I have nothing to compare it to like a escher, or nats.

    Good idea. Jimmy, can you move it under the OP?

    @DubyaB, this is really encouraging

    No worries. All good, Dubya. All good.

    It just helps the amount of thread subscriptions, not to mention the "Advanced Search" later on.

    Doing great work.
