Going a little bit crazy

[tteichmer78]

I picked up a edge pro apex at a yard sale. I got the base and the arm and a 1000 grit stone

Looking for a set of stones for a edge pro apex.

I want a general purpose set that will work for all sharpening needs. They don’t need to excel at any particular area of sharpening.

Open to any thing diamond, water stone etc.

Around 100-200 grit to remove material quickly .. ( New Bevel / repair damage )
200-400 grit ( Im finding 320 good ) to start or finish a edge .. ( Depending on the steel / hardness - this can be smooth to coarse )
600-800 grit to start the polished look .. 1000 - 1500 to get that shinny Bling look .
600 grit also looks to be somewhere you can finish an edge at ...
This is all DIAMOND insert talk !

So maybe 180 / 320 / 600 / 1000 for a basic insert kit & customize from there . ( 10c )

Is there a set of DMT stone’s.
I have looked and googled with no success

Looking at Gritomatic and found the Broride T2 set that I’m interested in.

Gritomatic is definitely your best choice for a huge variety of stones.

I'd go for a low grit diamond or CBN plate, and some diamond resin based daily use & finisher stones. With this combo, you can sharpen, re-profile and chip repair any knife steel.
