Thread: Arkansas stones grit?

i have a very good routine for breaking in arks. i frist lap the ark with a dmt 220 then once flat i move on to a dmt 325 that is very worn to smooth out the stone. i use water in the frist two steps . after im done with the dmt 325 i let the stone dry and take a translucent ark that has already been made flat and i rub the two stones together until i get white quartz powder all over the stone.(rubbing them together dry) i repeat three times. on to the last step i put oil on the stone and use a piece of tool steel and i rub the stone down to finish the smooth out process i rub the stone until i can see some swarf on the stone repeat three times and your stone is broke in
