Thread: Can I use a DMT 325 for bevel setting?

The 325 is pretty aggressive and you really only need it for major edge repairs. You'd be wearing away a lot of the razor unnecessarily by using that stone.

What I'd do is get a slurry stone and work up a slurry on your 4k Norton and use that as a bevel setter, then rinse with just water to move up to 4k.

Hope that helps!

The simple answer is "Yes". The question you have to ask though is do you want to. Stubear has a valid point about aggressiveness. If you need to remove a lot of metal in a hurry, the D8C will do the job admirably.

Sure you can. Best if there are chips/nicks or rust on the edge, but the DMT 325 grit can be used to set bevels and even correct some other problems.

If lots of work needs doing though, I'd tape the spine.
