Hi Ken and Rich,

Thanks you both for your replies. It is appreciated!

Most of my sharpening is woodworking tools (plane irons, chisels, carving tools, etc).  I think choosing the DE-250 (1200 grit) will be the best for me at this point.  It is rare for me to have to completely regrind a damaged edge on on my tools. Generally most of my sharpening is just to a light grind to get a sharp edge and I  think the DE-250 will do that adequately.

Rich, I will look forward to the results of your testing but I think I will have to purchase now.  One of the stores here is offering diamond wheels at a very good price as an introductory offer.

Ken, I have been following the thread on water levels using the diamond stone and noted the issues if the trough is overfilled.  Thanks.

Regards,
Steve.

Hi Forum members,

I'm looking at buying one of the new diamond wheels for mt T-8 but unfortunately my budget will only allow me to buy one wheel. My dilemma is which grit would be the most useful?

I have a T-7 which I can use for coarse grinding and was thinking that the DE-250 (1200 grit) would be my best choice.  I would appreciate some advice from forum members before purchasing.

Thanks,
Steve.
