Please share for all of us in the cheap seats too!Pmed you a link, sharp hair cut btw![]()
Ah for sure, just search 'diamond powder' in Aliexpress. I was thinking the link might be blocked here.Please share for all of us in the cheap seats too!
And yes, noted the haircut as well![]()
Thanks. Keen to try with some diamond dust or corundum powder, but in the meantime tonight am going to try with some debado 180 slurry.Ah for sure, just search 'diamond powder' in Aliexpress. I was thinking the link might be blocked here.
Hi all !
I have made a little live on Instagram yesterday about Venev stones and how to use some tricks to make them work faster.
I have put the video on youtube too.
Please try those tricks and share yours if you have found some way to boost those stones.
From my experience, 80 grit, 100 grit, 150 grit and 240 grits are very hard bonding and barely move. I check them with rectified ruller. From 400 and above, it is not same resin (unfortunately), OCB one if I remember well and it is much softer and would react like other diamond stones (naniwa or nsk), even softer I would sayGreat things put together.
100 side is faster, but I guess all things considered, won't make much difference.
80 I used only for repairs. Definitely the better choice for those.
I also did some things just as part of my all time routines. I'm big on dressing stones. For example I use a soft SiC dressing stone to surface and speed it up, much like all that approach you had. Really nice.
Unfortunately, even Venev would dish and they do require flattening, but at lower grits it's definitely slower process versus resin ones. At higher grits there's barely any difference.
I found diamond on diamond not the best practice. Has a weird tendency to cancel out as they break each other faster. So I usually use diamond spray on regular stones.
I may try it, but I just thought... well corindon is working fine and I got kilos of it. In France you can buy 1kg of 300 grit corindon for 7 euros...Milan,
Don’t forget that you can use diamond dust from China is inexpensive and it will maintain its sharpness without breaking down speeding things up and keeping them going
OCB is still a resin equivalent. The idea behind it was to cut as good as possible, but not chip very hard alloys at low angles. So there's a tradeoff we need to accept.From my experience, 80 grit, 100 grit, 150 grit and 240 grits are very hard bonding and barely move. I check them with rectified ruller.

Yeah totally. But all people reading me need to remember I am interested in using those venev stones mostly for grinding/shaping/polishing wide bevels on san mai blades. I am changing the purpose of those stones in a way that were design indeed for sharpening high alloy steel knivesOCB is still a resin equivalent.

The others are boron based if I remember correctly and sintered to the metal.
I like the finish on the 400 thoFrom my experience, 80 grit, 100 grit, 150 grit and 240 grits are very hard bonding and barely move. I check them with rectified ruller.

Well there is a little difference but it's not like if you have the choice...Is there a big difference between the 100 and 150? I ordered the 100/240 and they just emailed me and said it was out of stock but they have the 150/240. I want to use this stone as my coarsest stone for thinning and fixing bevels.
Looking at coase bonded diamond stones to step in, instead of my venev for thinning wear resistant monosteel. The venevs are the best i've used so far. At least compared to the more traditional stones and plates.
Anyway. I see this. But i have a feeling its not what i want. But idk if anyone here has tried this line from nsk yet. I think going with the softer lines would be best, since i just want speed. That or im still considering a lapidary grinder, i can throw diamond plates on. Since i could get one for this price.

If you are interested to try Vitrified 400 I could be of help, recently got a FSK, quite good but does load up. Can’t sharpen for long due to back surgery, so won’t be missing a lot if you use it for couple weeksLooking at coase bonded diamond stones to step in, instead of my venev for thinning wear resistant monosteel.

I just dont want to deal with loading. My venev is hard enough where i have to refresh it to keep it cutting on 10v and stuff.If you are interested to try Vitrified 400 I could be of help, recently got a FSK, quite good but does load up.

Really? I would think slightly softer would be fastest, since it wouldnt load, or the diamonds wouldnt dull as much.I have 200-2k, these are the ones
Harder with more diamonds = way faster
I’ll try the 4k and 6k next
Also, consider the FSK 400 = ~250grit in reality
Fepa f150 is closer to 180 jis.
I am the creator of that chart. Please see the README and if you have any questions that are not addressed therein I will be happy to answer them to the best of my ability.If I understand the gritomatic chart (big if, so corrections welcome!) there’s actually a fairly big jump between the 150 venev and 400 venev (which is circa 700JIS), and the SG500 comes down in the middle of those.
SiC = Silicon CarbidePardon my ignorance, but what is SiC? Edi: nvm I’m dumb lol
