Thread: Has anyone used diamond powder for light honing & stropping - Diamond Powder 0-1/2 μm

Hey guys,

Has anyone purchased\tried diamond powder rather then getting the premixed compounds??

As you can use powdered CrOx either dry or mix it yourself i cant see why you couldn't use this?

At $50usd and $2.50usd postage for 100 carat's it would be a cheap alternative...
