I just turn the wheel on and hold either a small diamond sharpening stone or the fine side of the Stone Grader at an angle against the edge for a few seconds.

Done.  I used the sides of the stone grader, first the coarse side and then the fine.  I think it will work eventually to eliminate all the chips.


I have two stone graders, one dedicated to the SB stone and I only use the coarse side on it, and I'm only grading the SG stone fine these days, so one grader would do, at this point.

Rick,

On a practical level, would the chip in your photo cause any grinding problem?

I don't think so, at least at its current size.  Maybe if it were larger, but I don't know.  Hopefully, it will remain the same and eventually be eliminated by truing it.  It doesn't seem to be harming anything, so I'm not rushing to "true it down".

Quality is like buying oats.  If you want nice, clean, fresh oats, you must pay a fair price. However, if you can be satisfied with oats that have already been through the horse, that comes at a lower price.

I have used another 1000 grit diamond plate with my SG with good success.

I've been using a 1000 grit diamond plate on my SG and SJ stones.  I like them both graded that way.  I don't notice as much with the SG but with the SJ, it really smooths it out, especially after a truing, but even after using it a bit.  With a bit of use, it develops some of those little bumps I point out earlier.   The sound changes also, to one of a more "gritty" sound, not the smooth "shhhhh" after it has been freshly graded.  When it gets that way, I grade it with the 1000 grit diamond plate and those bumps go away and the smooth sound returns.

I speak from experience when I say, "No".

Kind regards,

Rich's comment says a lot. One of the benefits of experience, especially with a less than perfect grinding wheel, is being able to distinguish between what causes problems and what just doesn't look pretty.
