Was putting heavy pressure on a blade I'm trying to correct (another topic I'll be starting) while traveling up and down my Chosera 1k and I was getting a nails on a chalk board type squeak.
At first I thought it was getting loaded with steel particles and so I used the rubbing stone to clean the surface, same sound.
Still squeaked after a minute of dmt lapping too.
Thoughts?
If somebody was was rubbing a long piece of steel across your head, you'd be squeaking too. :shrug:
Too dry a stone ?
Isn't a chalk board "abrasive",,, meaning that the Chosera may be made up of some of the same material that makes up a slate type of blackboard?
I get it often on my naturals. Not so much on my synthetics. But I imagine Nortons are constructed much differently than Naniwas. I wouldn't worry about it too much, as long as the stone was doing it's job. But that might be a good sign you're being too heavy handed on it.
I have had some sqeeking when using tape on my nortons, just enough to set the little dogs barking....
nah lots of water pooled on top.Quote:

Check your tape if you are using tape. It might be rolling up under the spine and scraping the bare spine on the stone. Just a thought:chapeau
Nope, no tape this time!Quote:

I have had the same situation a few times over the years. I came to the same conclusion the first couple of times that it was the hone. At first I would try a different hone but the problem remained. Next I tried a little trick I learned from Glen, used my finger and added a little pressure to 'push' the edge where the blade was squeaking. I would push for a couple of strokes then use normal pressure and repeat the process. Give it a shot, if it doesn't work, keep the method in the back of your mind, another tool for your tool box down the road. Good luck, hope this works for you!
Try a bit of dish detergent in your slurry water as lubrication..........Quote:

I have had that happen if the stones glaze, even if you use a rubbing stone it will still do it. You need to cut a bit deeper into the stone face, a diamond plate works better than the rubbing stone.
I also find that a lot of water works better to keep from loading up. I use a plastic squirt bottle rather than a spray bottle and keep the stone flooded and the swarf rolling off the stone.
I hone on a plastic tray, like from a fast food restaurant with the stone in a steelex rubber holder. The tray catches all the water and swarf.
Chef Knives to Go has a great 3X8 diamond, 400/1k plate for $35.
