Good Day Folks!

I was looking at the Shapton stones and noticed that they list the grit and also the particle size.

The 16000 grit stone is listed at .92 Microns, so if I paid any attention in grade school, I'm guessing my 8000 grit stone would be somewhere around 1.8 Microns. Now if I paid attention at middle school, I'd guess my 12000 to be near 1.4 Microns.

If my math is right, than I think what I've realized is that red paste (2-4 Microns) isn't helping me out very much. I had observed this while using it, but I couldn't figure out the reason why!

I think I know where I need to look in search of that final polish now, but I just wanted to see what you folks think about the grit and particle size assessment

Thanks!!
