What is everyone's go-to cheap coarse synth?
This particular stone seems to get a decent amount of love. Thanks for the input!!JNI 220 pink brick. Gets the job done when fixing small nicks and breaking down stupid dull stainless without feeling like I'm working on concrete. It's $45USD so there are cheaper out there, but I like it and so far doesn't seem to dish too quickly.
OP wants to know if anybody knows of an old thread concerning his question,cheap stones vs. expensive stones.Myself,I am not aware of that particular thread but maybe somebody does.
I limit myself to 5 pages of archives and after that, in my mind, it does not exist. :biggrin:
BingoLet your first stones be fast. Fast results, good or bad, fast correction of errors, no taking bad habits due to fatigue or concentration loss.
Good advice.Let your first stones be fast. Fast results, good or bad, fast correction of errors, no taking bad habits due to fatigue or concentration loss.
I had 1000(AUD 10?), 4000(AUD 20-40?) and 9000(AUD90).
I sharpened my knife for a while and extremely frequent cause i just love knife that cuts everything like butter but i believe that my angle is too flat? (not sure if thats the term) that it doesnt stay sharp as long as it should.
Need to practice it more.
Normally when (or how often) do you use 220, 1000, 3000? or the higher grits?
Do you use anything 1000 only for repairs?
One of the best synthetics I have ever used is the cheap 4ss Tyrolit 89A Super. It's just 15 but it's incredibly fast, doesn't load up, has great feedback and creates a very good edge on knives and chisels. The only downside is that it's a stinker. When you sharpen on it and it starts to release some mud it emits a stench like rotten eggs. If it didn't stink so much I would still be using it.
Carborundum I guess? Any idea of the grit? The ones I've used dished very quickly.One of the best synthetics I have ever used is the cheap 4ss Tyrolit 89A Super.
