Hi all, my plane found the leftovers of a staple in some maple end grain and now I have a chipped edge. I am looking to buy a really coarse stone to redo the bevel.
my stones right now are the
Atoma 400 (I use it for flattening the ceramics)
Shapton pro 1000, 5000, 12000
DMT Dia-Sharp fine, x-fine, xxfine ( I use those mainly for edges that would gouge the ceramics - my Shapton's are my workhorses)
I am trying to decide between a Shapton pro 120 DMT xxcoarse (120 mesh) and Atom 140 (If I hear justification, I might consider a DMT Dia-flat). one of the things I was wondering is if I get the Shapton, can I use the Atoma 400 to flatten it? or will it be coarse enough to wear the Atoma out?
eventually I will get a grinder but right now, space and cost are at a premium
any advice would be appreciated
