Hi
I have a Nubatama 150 grit stone that needs flattening. How do you guys flatten your low grit stones. I have an Atoma 140 but I presume it isn't a low enough grit to be effective. I thought I would pose the question before trying it out.
Many thanks
Gareth

Re: Flattening a 150 grit stone
Hi There Arthur. I use the Atoma 140 to flatten my Nub150 and don't have any problems. Admittedly I don't get to use my N150 all that much these days and when I do I flatten it for every session. So far I haven't found the need to go coarser than the Atoma 140, but do have a 3M 120 grit diamond plate that would be my next step if I wanted more initial bite.

Re: Flattening a 150 grit stone
Thanks Gregory, I didn't know that. Whilst looking on the site, I realised that they had one Yoshimune 240mm up for sale and I grabbed it and added the 80 grit diamond plate as it is very reasonable. Thanks Grant and Ken, will give that a try first.
