The diamond stones still go through them like butter and even the medium (ceramic) stones work fine.
Strage, when I use the diamonds they go through steel like … well Steel.:silly:
Maybe I am doing something wrong???
Only if I want to go further and I’m not out for a mirror finish, I prefer Shaptons over Choseras
Why do you prefer the Shaptons. I have heard arguments on both sides of this, but I am curious as to your reasons.
I only have the Shapton stones in 5K and 15K. I have had them for about 8 months and used them exactly 4 times. Obviously I am not that impressed with them. Of course I am a creature of habit … and tend to go back to what seems to work well for me. I did not find that the Shaptons cut any faster, or produced a sharper edge, but they do leave a scratchy bevel (even at 15K which is listed as having a finer abrasive than the 10K Chosera).
I would be interested in trying the Shapton 30K some day, but the cost/benefit ratio is not really there for me at this time.
