WIZeR, Coarse grinding can also be done with diamond paste. I find it faster than with diamond stones, even faster than with the extra extra coarse DMT stone. It started like that on the coarse (blue) dmt stone. So I loaded a metal plate with 45 micron norton diamond paste and start...

Hi Ed, Just my experiences; but please keep in mind that i am not an expert in this area. I have bought the 240 grit one for grinding purpose but don't like it very much: it grinds fast when you put a lot of pressure, but wear fast too. Unfortunately i can't maintain the wear even on the stone...

Hi Paul, Mike and all, It's quite funny that there is so few people to prep their stock by hand. :( I though getting that one too, but having the "Coarse Medium and Fine" of C. Schwarz, and having read Alf's review i don't think that this DVD would bring me much further... But i may be...

First post, first question. Having a n°5 (modern Record) and a LV LA block plane, i am now missing a jointer. Having read reviews and posts on this topic i have settled for a LV BU jointer... But i still feel uncomfortable, shouldn't it be a cheaper woodie one? ECE or ULMIA model, or even a...
