I'm looking at buying a set of the CBN sharpening wheels.
My question is this:
The grits I'm thinking is a 180 and either 400 or 600 grit for the 2nd.
The 180 grit would serve for shaping and general grinding when needed.
I was thinking 600 grit for the 2nd, so I can get a nice, clean, polished edge without grinding away the tool steel, every time I have to sharpen a gouge. Would the 600 grit do this?
I'm new to all of this, so I'm asking because it all has to be shipped to Peru.
The train of thought comes from the fact that a barber uses a sharpening strap that 'polishes' the blades edge, giving it a better cutting edge, but does this translate to sharpening tools?
