Thread: Over Honing

Yes that was me and yea that was correct...

In fact the last two posts are correct...


Mack honestly the way to understand what it is, and how hard it is to do, and how easy it is to correct, is to just try and overhone an edge...
Three things need to be present to do it, a fast cutting Synthetic hone, Pressure, and lots of Laps/Circles...

Some people say you can't overhone on Naturals, but I think that is more you really have to try very hard to overhone on Naturals.... I haven't tried, after I saw what it took on a Norton 220, and a Norton 1k, to make it happen, that took long enough...IIRC either Josh or David did something like 1000 laps on a Coticule and never got it to overhone but I don't think he used pressure on it....
