Question 2:
From Todd:
I’m flattening the again of PM-V11 aircraft iron. I sometimes go 1K waterstone -> 6K waterstone -> 8K shapton glass. However, I’ve by no means actually achieved that good mirror end on the again like I’ve seen within the magazines, in addition to taking lessons with Garrett Hack.
Last night time, I used:
1K -> 4K (Norton Combo)
-> 6K (King model)
-> 8K (Norton Combo)
-> 8K Shapton glass stone.
To see if I might study extra about these stones and if I might get a minimal scratch sample, and maybe that elusive mirror end. I discovered that going from 1K to 4K grit I used to be fairly near mirror end close to the leading edge. Going to 6K it seemed like a step again, the scratch sample appeared cloudier. Thinking that totally different manufacturers of water stones could have totally different grit scores, I returned to the 4K stone and obtained fairly near mirror end. I flipped the Norton to the 8K facet and just like the 6K, the scratch sample utilizing the Norton 8K appeared cloudier(see picture). Again returned to the 4K and being confused obtained near mirror end.
Lastly, I went to the 8K shapton glass stone. And but once more appeared like a step backwards in comparison with the 4K.I can perceive variations in producers and their grit scale, however I’m actually puzzled why the 4K is extra mirror like. I observed when utilizing the 4K it removes lots of metal then makes a slurry that I can push/pull the aircraft blade by means of simply. The increased grits don’t appear to make the slurry that rapidly and generally the blade suctions to the stone making it troublesome to maneuver. I often flattened the water stones, so they need to be flat and contemporary abrasions. I’m beginning to marvel if 4K is the brand new 16Ok grit.
