Setting bevel with Naniwa 1k
O.k.. I have to be missing something very simple here.
My normal progression is the following.
DMT 600->BBW -> Coticule -> Nakayama ->Paste(Optional)
Well... I decided to pick up a naniwa 1k after i had a blade not get along w/the dmt.
Normally when setting the bevel on the DMT I use TPT to guage where I'm at and dont move off of it until i am popping hairs.
Well.. On the naniwa i never get to the "hair popping" point. but i'm guessing this is because it does not put the rough serrations in the lbade the dmt does.
I'm not sure exactly what i'm looking for before moving on to the BBW. I honed to what i thought was a sharp bevel using TPT and the end result was no good.
Changed it up a bit, set bevel on DMT, then did 10 strokes on Naniwa. End result was better than naniwa alone.
But it is just me right? the same progression should work fine w/ a naniwa in the place of the dmt right?
I'm guessing this is all me. Anyone else doing a similiar progression of natural stones after the Naniwa?
/sorry for the rambling.... i do that sometimes.
