    Never had a problem with my 4k in combo before I sold that to get the single grit I've been using for the past four years or more. Goes without saying ......... YMMV.

    This makes no sense to me ,unless you went too far on the 1k and then not enough on the 4. The again I am just a spert !

    I have the same sort of issue. Except my Norton 4K seems to be much more coarse than the Norton 1K. I don't know why but running my hands over the two at once the 1K is noticeably smoother than its "finer" cousin, the 4K. Anyone else have this issue? Do I just need to lap the 1K more or what?

    It may be the fact that you are feeling the combination of what holds the grit together and the grit. Never the less, the grit that does the work is bigger on the 1k. I just felt mine King 1k and Norton 4k with the same results. The 1k feels smother on my finger tip but I know it doesn't feel the same to my steel.:<0)

    You're not dealing with sandpaper. The feel means nothing. It's what the overall composition is.
