I have a very specific question that seemed better to ask here than to start a new thread. I'm planning to buy a course Crystolon to flatten the Pro 120. They should be close to the same grit, or the Shapton might be slightly finer based on what I've read. Will the tough oilstone binder plus SiC hold up to the weaker magnesium binder plus AlOx, or will I eventually need another solution to flatten the Crystolon? I'm trying to avoid dealing with SiC powder if possible
i have not used my 100 grit Sic stone on the 120 pro. but i have used it on the 220 and up and there it works very well! you have to flatten the Sic stone too some times with loose grit. you could also simply sprinkle loose grit between the SiC stone and another stone. that works very fast.
i recommend using loose grit on the 120. coarse stones are picky with the surface condition to cut well. also using loose grit to flatten stones is extremely fast. i would not sacrifice an atoma for the 120. you will ruin it.
