Any chance you can post a picture of the under side of your base?  Thanks

Expidia, I’ve been watching the forms for quite a while but never chimed in.  Clays comment about the progressive caught my eye and wanted to ask about that.

My diamond stones are pretty well broke in but my ceramics still have a ways to go.  I think I might just pick up a USB microscope and watch my scratch marks to determine my progression.  It was interesting seeing where Clay said to use the ceramics,

If you already have the Superfine 1200/1600 ceramics, you can fit those in between your 1000# diamond stones and the 2200# diamond stones.

My sharpening progression is 100 – 800 (if needed), 1000, 1500, 2200, Superfine 1200/1600, Microfine 1.4/0.6.  I end it with a plain Balsa Strop to remove any potential burr that might remain.  I went that order based on the KB article Sharpening Grit Progression for all Wicked Edge Abrasives.   I don’t plan on using any lapping films or stropping compounds

After reading the comment where Clay uses the Superfine between the 1000 and 2200 stones, is there a better grit progression I should be following?

Thanks in advance for any recommendations.
