Thread: has anyone seen like that?

it is a Norton 4/8 and on the 4 k i got a area 3 cm X 3cm efter a few times honing, it was not like that from begining, it is like many bubble inside of stone, it must be a kind of defct, i think so

It looks like swarf (metal particulate) to me.

Yeah, it looks like swarf. I have seen build up like this on rougher hones.

Did you lap it before you used it to make sure it is flat and smooth? What was it lapped with?

In addition, did you lap it after you honed whatever it was ? Lapping should clean that up, unless it is a fault in the mix.

I had a naniwa 12k that had a few marks like that , that I never could lap out

i did, but you can lapp it out. impossible

Dunno, if whatever it is doesn't come out with lapping, maybe it is an imperfection in the hone .......... OR ........ what grit diamond plate ? If it is higher than 325 you may be getting the diamonds/nickel coming off in the waterstone. DMT warns about that, and it happened to me when I lapped with a 1200. My norton was getting gray. Fortunately for me Sham posted about ruining his 1200, so I stopped before I ruined my plate.

Are you using soap with water?

I put a drop of Dawn dish soap on my Norton 4k and it left a half inch mark and a rough spot. It does not affect the honing, but I can feel it when the razor glides over it, but it does not affect the edge. It has been like that for a couple of years now.

If it does not affect the edge, or you can not feel it, I would not worry about it.
