I have a Tormek SJ-250 Japanese water stone (4000 grit) and Tormek - PA70 polishing paste (3000 grit, if I'm not mistaken). Does it make sense to use a coarser polishing paste after using the water stone with 4000 grit?
My take on this is "Yes, it does". The SJ leaves a burr that you'll have to remove, and the PA-70 does a really good job of it. In my experience it will not unpolish the edge left by the SJ. Plus you probably want to hone at +1/+2 dps compared to your grinding angle, so that won't show much.
