Thread: You just accidentally hit your edge on the stone, what now?

With more experience you will get a feel for how large of a chip you can take out, in a reasonable amount of time, with each stone. You can always start fine, and if you're not making good progress drop down.

It's often a toss up of staying on your 5k, for example, for a long time, or going back to the bevel setter and then spending a while on the 5k to hone out the 1k scratches.
