Hi all,
Worked on cleaning up a small bullnose plane iron tonight and decided to try out the DMT diamond stones. I have a blue, which I think is medium, and red, which I think is fine. I went through both the blue and red. The iron looks nice, but it doesn't have a reflection on the bevel, and I can't shave any hairs off of my arm. The shaving thing is how I have been determining if something was sharp. Do I need to switch over the sandpaper to finish? Or am I missing something with the DMT stones?
