moving to the stone grader

[Ken S]

This topic is an expansion of my TT-50 topic. The same concept of average cutting efficiency can be applied to the stonegrader. It works in both keeping the stone coarse and fine. Again, I recommend watching the Pressure online class linked here:

As mentioned in the TT-50 topic, I believe the stone grader actually brings the stone out-of-true faster (which then requires truing). So it seems to me its effect is somehow contrary to the truing tool (except in its ability to coarsen the grit, albeit very temporarily).

I highly recommend using the truing tool with care, and diamond plates to adjust the grit of the SG stone, as mentioned in numerous topics on this forum and as demonstrated by the late Wootz on YouTube here and here.
