While making some light passes on my 13K stone after a little cutting, I got to wondering - what is the dominant effect, aligning the edge against the hard stone surface, or abrasive removal of steel? Pressure and number of passes would be important factors, but it seems to me that a couple passes on a slick stone (maybe 6K+) would be about the same as working the steel/borosilicate glass/day old bagel with just a smidge of feathered steel removal.
