This is the progression I am currently following.
Stone Microns
100 Diamond 122
200 Diamond 69.5
400 Diamond 22
600 Diamond 16
800 Diamond 12
1000 Diamond 7
1,200 Ceramic 5
1,600 Ceramic 2.85
Polishing tapes 1
Question:
Assume that you keep the knives and stones clean of all dust and grit from the various stones. What would I gain from the Chosera or Shapton stones other than getting to 0.48 microns? The same question goes for the strops and compounds? The ceramics are equal to or finer than the stropping compounds so what other benefit is there?
