I have a set of cheap diamond stones (coarse, fine and extra fine) plus some water stones at 1000, 3000 and 8000 grit.
With this setup I can sharpen my blades very sharp.
My main problem is when I have to deal with a blade that needs a lot of metal taken off to make the back flat or is too rounded at the bevel and I need to flatten it.
I dislike using a grinder, so I spend what seems forever on my coarse diamond stone to flatten the backs/bevel and I feel I am not using the right tool for the job.
Now my coarse diamond stone seems more finer grit than my fine grit one although the blade eventually becomes flat and sharpens up nicely afterwards.
Does anyone know of a coarse stone or alternative that might help me easily take off that excess metal before going to the finer stones?
Should I be resorting to a grinder of which I have poor control at getting it to grind the right spots.
