Hi all,
I have a friend who brought me back a wetstone from japan.
the stone has 2 sides:
- blue
- orange
It is mentionned 300 and 1000 so I am assuming that's the grit
but how do you compare these grits with for instance belt sander ?
Is there a 1:1 ratio or a 300 japanese grit is much higher or lower than a 300 grit belt or sanding paper ?
Thanks
