WATERSTONES: EFFECTIVE AND AFFORDABLE • Waterstones typically consist of abrasive aluminum-oxide or silicon-carbide particles mixed with a binder that is heated and pressed into a rectangular block. To measure the dishing that occurs with each stone, we sharpened a ¾"-wide chisel with a honing guide to equal sharpness on each stone. Choose a 3,000-4,000 stone for initial honing and a 6,000-8,000 stone for final honing. DON'T GET IN A GROOVE: FLATTEN YOUR STONES Waterstones and ceramic stones wear by design as the abrasive and binder break down to expose fresh abrasive particles. [Extracted from the article] |
