Diamond Lapping Film - Lee Valley Tools

I gave the film an honest try a while back. They didn't work that well for me or my Kami. My Kami is a stone whore.

Give em a shot, but if they don't work for you, don't spend too much time trying is my advice.

what stones are you using? I am just starting out .

would be nice to know how the microns translate to grit, ordered 1 micron sheets to start.
trying to figure out what microns are needed for
1 setting bevel
2 finishing.
tons to read.

My Nani's are my standbys. But the Kami loves the Arkansas stones I have. If you are starting out, I hesitate to recommend the Arks because they take a little finessing, but then, it's hard to over hone with the Arks so I'm torn.

That said, everyone should have a set of Nani's in their collection if you ask me!

Good luck! Kami's are bad ... expletive
