thanks for the chart
so 1 micron is between 12-15k grit (shapton stones); about 12k grit on (Norton stones)
3 micron is about 8k grit on Norton

cool, NOW if the bevel is set, can I just get...

yes/no, saw 1 micron sheets being used, since the shop was placing an order I added my sheets to the list
McMaster-Carr
they are 3" x 8" in one micron (my granite stone is 4" x 8") and at $3.30...

would be nice to know how the microns translate to grit, ordered 1 micron sheets to start.
trying to figure out what microns are needed for
1 setting bevel
2 finishing.
tons to read.

thanks.


awesome tip


what stones are you using? I am just starting out .

who uses it, where do you get it? what sizes?
getting two Kamisori's , one is traditional and one is a symmetric ground Kenwa.
I need to learn how to hone BOTH.
