Thanks Oz,

I do believe your right about the well worn dmt. I like the surface of what is a $300 stone to look flat and mirror like. When I first used the new DMT325 prior to 'mellowing' I was annoyed, but following good advice got things clicking. Bear in mind the atoma 400 is yet to arrive, I'll be leaving the stones alone for a week or so.

Once again Oz, thankyou, sir.

Regards Bob
