I've noticed that those who are natural stone aficionados have a love for jnats and Arkys or both. Has anyone done a side by side comparison? I would be curious to know how they stack up to each other.
All of the natural finishers out there can only bring their full potential with a approved user. The Honemeister makes the difference not the stone.
Greets Sebastian.
If a jnat edge wants to give you a little ‘love bite’, a little more slurry at finishing usually fixes it.
Slurry causes the bevel to lose it's mirror shine, though that doesn't necessarily mean the edge will be less, or is this incorrect?Words of wisdom right there.
i do what steve says.
for me the jnat laser edge is more pronounced on the thinest/ singing grinds.
lately i have been maxing out on jnat on water only.
then go back to a few laps with very light slurry, and the least amount of pressure to stay on stone
I haven’t compared an Ark to a Jnat but I have recently compared a well done jnat edge to razors finished on .1u (14k) lapping film and couldn’t feel the difference. Blasphemy I know but true.I've noticed that those who are natural stone aficionados have a love for jnats and Arkys or both. Has anyone done a side by side comparison?
