Nah. Hour and a half, maybe two the way I do it. I do sets of down and back half Xs; sets of 10 then 5 then 3 then 1
Yeah, Arks are good if you like it crisp but they can have a bit of a bite. A few dry laps on a coti as you mentioned will tame it right down.
Notice that every stone in that progression was a Norton Abrasives with the possible exception ot the calico which was probably a Smith's or a Buck?
That Lily White was a nice addition. It makes a nice step between the burnished side of the Nš 1 and the lapped side of the trans. Under magnification you can see a subtle but noticeable fining out of the scratch pattern. To the naked eye it goes from an opaque to hazy look. I love the size of that thing. 8 inches allows for long ponderous laps.
Jnat heaven tonight. Thiers Issard was went through tenjou to mierjo on the last session. This session I finished with koma and tomo on my Nakayama Maruka Asagi. Can get the edges too sharp on this but the kiita tomo pairs nicely.
