I do notice on the earlier Naguras I can turn the slurry dark really quickly .. I thought that was the slurry breaking down but now I understand that it is swarf.. Come to think about it I can turn the tomo dark quickly too.
Maybe that means my stone is fast so I should use weaker slurries?

One thing that gets to me is the Mejiro , its so hard to get a slurry from it, any tips? Hardly any water is the only thing that seems to kind of work, still takes an age though.

You need softer Mejiro, simple as that.

You would want your naguras to be soft and release slurry easy.
