Thinking of getting a 1200 atoma to use on jnats to flatten. I currently have the 140 and 400, but even from using on synths it seems like the 400 would be too coarse for the higher grit/fineness stones without some additional work with a nagura or something. Anyone else use the 1200 for this, or other tasks?
Also while researching the purchase, it looks like Metalmaster is the best value for price and shipping it looks like even if I use EMS which is over 3x the cost of SAL, it'll still be over $35CAD less than picking up locally at Lee Valley (their prices have gone up about 20-30% since last year) assuming they ship similar to other Japanese vendors
I'm not too familiar with this seller, but know the name comes up on the forums from time to time. I just wouldn't want to try and save a few bucks (well, more than a few) if there's risk of the product being a dud or if MM is difficult to deal with.
