Bargain Basement Slurry Maker
I wanted to try using a diamond plate for making a slurry on my 4K/8K Nortons, but more importantly, on my Chi-Com stone.
Almost everyone here uses a DMT 325, but for a test, I wanted something cheap. Really cheap. So, I went to Academy Sports, no dice. Then I thought of Harbor Freight Tools. Bingo! I grabbed this set of three diamond plates for $15.00. Any of them would probably work, but I tried the finest, a 360 grit first. They're thin, under 1/4", but work great! I'll think of something, like a drawer pull, I can epoxy to the bank to give me something to grasp.
