It will just go a bit slower but I haven´t resurfaced mine so far. It reminds me very much of the coarse Norton india Stone. It´s also very coarse, extremely hard and doesn´t wear a lot. It´s also very aggressive when it´s new or freshly resurfaced and after a while it settles in just like a diamond plate. Like the Shapton I resurface my Norton India only when it´s dished and that takes a while with both of them. After resurfacing they wear in again and after that they barely wear. I think that´s just how hard stones are. If you want to remove material really quick, get the brick sized greenish King 240. It´s extremely soft, dishes quickly but releases fresh abrasive particles with every pass. For fast grinding that´s my favorite but it makes a muddy mess.
a 120 grit shapton stone (29.4 microns - same finish as 320 paper) is useful only to remove SEVERE damage from the edge. You are basically making a fine tooth serrated edge which will immediately dull as those little teeth break. To sharpen you should be using JIS 1000 (16 microns), JIS 2000 (8 microns) then JIS 4000 (3 micron). for razor sharp (literally sharp enough to get a comfortable facial shave) continue to JIS 8000 (1.2 micron). That sequence will make an edge that IS sharp and will STAY sharp. Use a diamond plate to flatten wetstones before EVERY use -- wetstones are consumables.
That is nonsense. The 120 Korumaku leaves a finish fine enough for many applications like mortise chisels, cooking knives and other stuff. You get a finer scratch pattern when you use less pressure. Just use a strop after sharpening to remove what´s left of the burr and the edge will hold up just fine. Done it many times with various tools and knives. Finer than JIS 1000 is overkill most of the time. Very few tools actually benefit from polishing. You can do that, no problem. I often use some finer stones after a coarse one but There comes something into play we call the law of diminishing returns.

I always love a good coarse grit edge!
woop
This stone can be used to flatten finer stones such as 400 as and above.
I dont believe this
That's ok!
With the shapton trademark you pay more with the name of the mark than the products that you buy.

If you're going to comment the same nonsense on every one of my videos, I'll be happy to block your comments.
shapton stones are hard enough to not need flattening with every use ya hemorrhoid
