What holds the agglomerate together? It also sounds like the scratch pattern would not be as uniform as a stone with the diamonds evenly dispersed in the resin.
In the Venev, it looks like simple polymer. The problem with F2000 grit that it needs to be exposed and held in a way that allows it to cut/grind, and I don't think that's going to happen in a mostly-resin stone. These agglomerates have a very high density of diamonds, so the ones at the top are supported by diamond not resin. Just like with the 3M lapping film, you don't need a lot (per unit area) of these grinding centres.
How much would it cost to make a resin stone with 0.25 micron diamonds that is over 50% diamonds by weight?
