Just wondering where you ended up with this Martin?
I have two double sided 200mmx75mm plates; 250/600 and 400/1200.
I have had pretty much the same experience as you, they worked ok for a bit but quickly became fairly ineffective. I started with flattening my plane iron also.
I took them into the place I bought them from and they suggested cleaning with methylated spirits and a scotch bright scouring pad. That made zero difference and I’ve also tried cleaning them pretty much every way I could find suggested online, they feel very smooth and really don’t seem to do anything except maybe some very slow polishing.
As a comparison, I’ve got some 400, 600 and 1000 grit wet and dry that I use on glass and I can get a decent edge very quickly whereas I really can’t do anything much on the diamond stones.
I’m basically at the point where I’ve given up on them, it’s pretty disappointing to have spent quite a lot of money on what I thought was one of the best options out there and they’re now useless and I’ve wasted hours and hours thinking I’ve done something wrong. -
