Hello everyone, Can someone share the basic sequence/order of stone grit to follow. I understand it all depends on the condition of the blade and whether a polished/mirror edge is desired. But what would be a general sequence/order say after a 1000 grit stone? I have seen some videos of guys saying that you can’t/shouldn’t ‘skip’ any one grit. Just trying to learn the craft and get words of wisdom. Thanks…
Usually after 1000 grit diamonds, I go through sandpaper starting at 1000 then go 1200, 1500, 2000, 2500, 3000, 4000, 5000, 7000, 12000 and ill throw in my lapping films in between the sandpaper depending on the micron of my lapping film and then end with 1/0.5 leather strops with diamond emulsion. Yes, thats a lot of steps and it’s probably not necessary, but thats just how I do it.
