Hi Ken and Rick,
Thanks for your replies.
I had the same toughs that diamonds are obviously hard and should work.
When I sharpen knives I value the fact that I can easily progress from
DC -> DF -> DE -> SJ -> paperwheel -> kangaroo strop with a result under 100 BESS.
Having the same diameter is something I really value,
but having to take care that I do not damage the diamond with that much pressure is something I really dislike.
Also I agree that the diamonds are not as aggressive as I had hoped.
I think I will for the shaping process get the BGM-100 Bench Grinding Mounting Set
and attach this a grinder for faster shaping and less likelihood of damaging the diamond wheels.
After the shaping process with the grinder I will continue the sharpening and polishing process with diamonds and japanese wheels.
