You can also find other knock off diamond plates cheaper online.The atoma 140 is a great option. Stays flat, cuts fast and you won't need to replace anywhere near as quick as a stone.
I hate removing the deep scratch marks from a 140 diamond plate. Doesn't really save any time from a coarse stone in the long run.The atoma 140 is a great option. Stays flat, cuts fast and you won't need to replace anywhere near as quick as a stone.
JNS300 is not particularly fast stone. Not for a 300 grit I mean. I have it and it has its use because it wears rather slowly and is thus more precise. But in speed it is roughly comparable to Shapton Pro 1000. It also leaves scratch pattern that looks finer than what I would expect from a 300 stone and MUCH finer than what Bester 220 makes.
Any idea of the JIS grit of the JNS300?The JNS300 seems to be a good stone to first use as a bevel setter. The King 300 also.
Reason I ask, is that for those few strokes needed to set a bevel after good thinning, a JIS 300 would be quite too coarse and detrimental to final edge stability. I prefer something in the 600 range. With a Naniwa Pro/Chosera 500, I can easily jump to stropping and deburring on the 2 or even 3k. A bit minimalist, but it works.Any idea of the JIS grit of the JNS300?

A recent Amazon.ca shopping cart of mine inadvertently had a few cheap stones fall into it -- somehow... Seeing as they were as so inexpensive, I figured -- why not...
Long story short, the green DeBell #500 Grit stone is very decent for the $9 CAD it cost me. Looks to be made of green carborundum; scratches seem slightly coarser than 500 JIS, but finer than what I'd expect from a 320; anyway, the scratches are very regular.

I see that there's a similar black carborundum version of the stone, but it's nearly twice the price for some reason, so I likely won't be trying it. On the other hand, I was looking through Amazon.co.uk, and over there the cheap stone is the black version; whereas the green stone which is cheap in Canada is more than double the price -- for whatever unfathomable reason...
Very decent stone, considering its price. Excellent for taking out the coarse scratches from the Sigma Power Ceramic #120 and getting set up for an #800 or coarse 1k. The scratches from this 500 are a bit coarse to go right to a finer 1k.
