Hi all!
I'm a beginner in the art of sharpening, and therefore I need flat stones in order to learn. I've used SiC #220 from a friend to flat my 1k stone and it worked very fast and very well.
Now I want to buy my own SiC for the stones that I have and also for all the stones that I may have in the future. I did my homework reading all posts about flattening and silicon carbide in this forum, so I already know which grit sizes I want: #60, #120, #220, #320, #400.
However, I don't want to miss the opportunity to buy also a bit of a finer grit, even knowing it may be less useful (and more dangerous) than the other grits. That's why I'm asking for your help. Which one should I choose:#500, #600 or #800?
