    Default Stone for Initial/ Repair bevel

    Hi Guys,

    What is the most appropriate stone for the initial/ repair bevel. I'm not referring to bevel setting.

    I would appreciate feedback on what you are using and why.

    Many thanks,

    Bogdan

    I guess it would depend a lot on what type of repair.
    If its just small edge work, then just about any 1K stone would probably work.
    I have a Norton 1K that has tackled all my edge work so far.

    Big repairs I use my atoma 400 first then when close Chosera 1k. Light work or small chips just the Chosera. I use the spine lifted technique which works well and quickly
    My wife calls me......... Can you just use Ed

    The Chosera with a slurry from the brown rub stone is a work horse.

    Not refering to bevel setting? But repairing bevel? Isnt that the same thing as if you repiar the bevel your resetting it. Guess i dont understand.

    "Not refering to bevel setting? But repairing bevel? Isnt that the same thing as if you repiar the bevel your resetting it. Guess i dont understand."


    What I mean is when you do the initial bevel on new razor or after you re-grind an old razor. Before setting the bevel you need to check where are the areas you need to grind more.

    Oh. I get it. I was just doing that yesterday. Four layers of tape and a well worn DMT 325' which I am guessing is really a lot closer to an 800 now. I was not regrinding with a 2x72 I was simply using greaseless on a hard wheel.

    King/Norton/Naniwa/Shapton 1K to set the bevel and repair most edges. I havea Norton 1K. If I need something faster I do have a Naniwa 800, but I try to use that sparingly. And of course if I really need to hog out steel I have an assortment of coarse hardware store hones or my diamond plate (DMT 325).

    Thank you all for replying and sharing your experience.

    I guess now the question is: DMT 325 or Atoma 400?

    I intend to use the diamond plate for flattening water stones also and from what I've read it seems that Atoma is favored...
