It can also be used for routine maintenance and sharpening. This stone leaves a very good working sharp edge. 9 Micron (~2,000 grit) further refines the edges from the 15 micron diamond resin stone, and can be used for light repair and general maintenance sharpening. It leaves an even better quality work sharp edge. The 9 micron diamond resin stone also begins to polish, and sets things up for further refinement sharpening and polishing. 6 Micron (~3,000 grit) really begins to refine and polish the edge leaving a high level of sharpness and with some very good shine. The 6 micron diamond resin stone is best for maintenance sharpening and preparation for full out mirrors and further refinement. 3 Micron (~6,000 grit) is a keystone slicing edges and mirror polishing. It is an excellent touching up stone, and really sets the edge up for further refinement through finer grit stone, stropping or Jende diamond films. Hacks and Tips: Use a moderate amount of water when sharpening with this stone to avoid the black swarf buildup. A cleaner surface will cut faster than one with a lot of swarf. Lap this stone ONLY with a Jende 2-Sided Glass Lapping Plate and Silicon Carbide powders. Lapping diamonds to diamond only wears the diamonds down, and doesn’t revitalize the resin stones.
