I have just purchased the Durofelt rock hard felt wheel for my T-8 and have charged it with one micron diamond spray.  After drying I have been burnishing a chisel.  It does wonders for the chisel but continually emits a cloud of dust from the wheel.  Is this normal, or a breaking-in 'feature'.  Any suggestions for dust control short of hooking up a hood to my dust collection system?  Would there be less dust with the Tormek Japanese stone?
Thanks for any leads

I have just purchased the T-8 and fine diamond wheel plus composite honing wheel for wood working tools such and plane blades and chisels.  After reading and viewing the excellent YouTube learning videos, I started with this with plans to build as I learn.  I was hoping that the fine diamond wheel marks might be buffed out.  I do realize that the finish will not be that of a 8000 or 16000 stone.  However upon my early starts (with light pressure on the diamond wheel) I am not getting the fine result that I hoped for. (see photo)  Before I commit to the next level of wheel I am wondering whether there is a photo of the results of a fine to very fine wheel or fine to japanese, (which I suspect is too big a jump).  Will the very fine give me the results I am looking for?   I have reviewed the very useful photos of grind marks in the Youtube video number 14 and the one that is not there is the very fine diamond stone.  Any advise appreciated!
