The 800/1000 stones are like the other diamonds in that they need some break-in time. You can accelerate the break-in period by gently rubbing like stones together a few times.
There’ll be a lot more awe-struck after I get the fine plates and the Shaptons up and running right, I’m fairly sure. 😀
Bonus for the WEPS being something I can plop down at a table with and just start working without a whole lot of setup or space required like the belt. Makes for a better crowd-pleaser.
EDIT: Just got the shipping notice for my 800/1Ks! Looks like they went out yesterday, so I’ll probably see them early next week. Can’t wait to do some real work on this! 😀
