It depends more on how hard the stone is than what grit it is. A DMT325 will leave scratches in hard stones.

I use Atoma 140,400 & 1200 depending on the condition of the stone.
I'll use the 400 on 8k if necessary but generally the 1200 is plenty as I don't work my 8k too hard. It's all the bevel setters that really suffer dishing & the 140 makes short work of the Shapton 220GS.“The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.”

I have a yellow coticule, a BBW, Norton 4000/8000, Naniwa 3000/8000. What do you suggest? One stone.

Thanks

Zomax,
I have no 'hard' stones, so I have no experience of how the DMT would fare with these.
However, I use my DMT325 for my 4/8 k Norton and my 1, 3, 5, 8, 10 & 12k Naniwa SuperStones with excellent results
The DMT is so much easier and cleaner to use than carbide paper on glass !
Have fun !
Best regards
Russ
