Thread: DMT NEW PROBLEM.

THE only reason i am posting this message to let other's to learn from my mistake and hopefully no one else after reading this will not do what i have done.
I bought 3 DMT's after seen how they perform on Mr JOKE1176 home.They were DMT 325 grit,DMT 1200 GRIT AND DMT 8000 OR rDMT8EE.
After getting them i did brake in and start using them.i used mostly for lapping purposes dmt 325 and for razor's rest 2.Recently i think i got a little lazy and decide why not to use all my DMT'S for lapping in order 325,1200 and 8000 or 3 micron one.I thought this will be a lot easier and fast.Turned out the first hone i wanted lap was my Charnley forest stone.
1 st i used 325 and get very good surface
2 nd used 1200 and stone is getting better and slurry comes out of the stone is milky color i am very happy job is going pretty smooth
3 rd and last i try my 8000 stone .
After 5 minuts work on 8000 DMT color of the slurry start to changing black???
what is it?i get confused this isn't slurry i used to have.
checked DMT SURFACE IT very shiny hmmmmmmmmm.then i switch back to 1200 dmt slurry changed to milky color then i relise i have done some damage to 8000 dmt.Unfortunately this is the most expensive one and i just ruined it?
i did Call DMT CUSTOMER SURVICE AND very nice Person by name STAN Watson return my call.We Talk and he did promice me help to check the stone.
I don't think dmt could be defective i think 8000 was too fine for lapping.Now i have send dmt to them and wanted to wait result first then wright about this accident but decide will better let it go now this may save someones stone.
good luck and enjoy with honing experience.
