http://www.faceters.com/askjeff/answer67.shtmlI was at woodcraft last night picking up a green whetstone and they had a little handwritten sign that said the green was equivalent to a 2000 grit waterstone, which threw me off since the DMT chart says 1200 mesh. I gotta get a handle on what's what between mesh, grit, and microns
DMT doesn't recommend to use anything finer for lapping then the 325.Is the 600 side coarse enough to flatten a hone or is it advisable to get a DMT 350 for this purpose such as the one depicted in Joels tutorial? My father has an old coticule which he wants me to have for razor sharpening but he has warned me that it is slightly concave.
Did you guys get the 8" or 10"?
Any one go from the DMT 1200 and finish on a coticule? I've a read little that the DMT 1200 leaves a rough edge after setting the bevel? Any comments on this?
I have a non-comboination coticule, I believe it's the La Grise vein, but not 100%. I was referring to setting a bevel via the DMT 1200, then starting the dilucot method on the coticule, strop, shave. Will you still end up with a coticule edge, or are the abrasions too great from the DMT to be removed by the dilucot method is what I guess I was asking. Sorry for the confusion.
Yes, the edge will be from the coticule. After the work on the DMT extra-fine, I recommend following Bart's procedure of dulling on glass followed by bevel correction then dilucot or unicot.
So the dulling on the glass will not remove the established bevel. It will only dull the "edge"? Sorry if my terminology is not up to snuff. The bevel correction will be done via the coticule with slurry correct?
So tonight I will set the bevel on the:
DMT 1200---> Dull Edge--->Dilucot method on coticule--->Strop--->shave
