BESS range

[Bobbo]

While I am on the forum today I am going to respond to my own post with new observations. I definitely do see more variation in edge sharpness readings after using coarse grits compared to finer grits. Interestingly enough though, having refined and improved my burr removal techniques though, I see very similar sharpness levels. I just don't see those low numbers as often along the length of a given and coarsely ground edge. I guess that's the "tooth" in a "toothy edge". 

I'm going to order a 1" Kalamazoo and I don't think that I will even bother ordering belts that are more than 240 grit. This is a great forum guys!
