@ed Thanks. Glad to know DiaSharp is the right one — I was not going to pay extra for the “interrupted” model.
The scratches are not deep so I too don’t think it ruined the plates. Good to know I’ve to put less pressure and let the diamonds do the work. Paul appeared to be putting a lot of pressure in those videos and my hands are nowhere as strong as his — can’t even open a jar most of the time. But have to keep in mind to be gentler. And, Paul’s method for the corners looks way too advanced for my skills — I was trying to put a show for myself mimicking Paul!
So, I do need the coarse one for maintaining the bevel/heel. Well, had not understood the real reason for starting with the coarse one. Have to move the 220 grit one from my wish list to “buy soon”…
Thanks again.
