Tried it, returned it, nice mirror edges but it creates micro bevels, very difficult to get same exact angle after using sg250 and then trying sj250 even tho using marker method it still wont be perfect, and not really needed.
Wow, that´s looks good !! Some nagging about the direction but i just wonder over the diameter of the two different stones. Let´s say that the first stone has a diameter of 185mm and the second one, the japanese one, has a diameter of 197mm. Do you just take a marker pen and and mark the knife edge and then look for the proper angle again ? Good that you share this video.
I'm looking to buy a Tormek sharpener and mused about the stone I need to have to get excellent results. Your video therefore was highly appreciated and provided me with the necessary information - did you finalise with the leather wheel as well after the SJ-250? I follow the saying "The sharper the knife the safer it is". Thank you, well done!
Tormek's documentation on the SJ-250 recommends against the leather hone after this stone. "Since the surface left by the Japanese Waterstone is so fine, we do not recommend honing afterwards on the leather honing wheel."
Yes, SJ is softer, however you still use leading edge technique. To avoid catching, you should round the edges of the stone slightly and use very light pressure. Practice that on your regular stones by finishing each grit use with very light passes. This will reduce the scratch pattern as an added benefit and can be done as a normal process.
Eh. Tormek's own demonstration video show sharpening a gouge away from the blade, and a hunting knife toward the blade. Use the angle guide with very light pressure (as intending with a fine stone like this) and it really doesn't matter.
Great! Thanks for sharing this info on the Japanese Stone ❤
Did you have to true the SJ-250 Japanese waterstone when you first received it?

does this assume the diameter of the SG-250 and SJ-250 are identical when you use the same jig setting between the two stones?
Nice
Would have liked to see you use the 'Bess' tester on that, before and after. I'm thinking about getting one of those Japanese stones myself. Thanks

How did you determine the proper angle when using the sj250 ?
What is the attachment on your honing wheel, and where do you get one?

@@Jamvan001 Ale stržení jehly před použitím kotouče SJ-250 na pastě a koženém kotouči je dobré si myslím, nebo ne? Moc děkuji za odpověď.
the polishing paste has 5mic (+-500grid), and the Japanese wheel has 4000. the meaning of your actions is not clear.
5 micron is about 4000-5000 grit.
Google this "SJ-250 and deburring" and click first hit at Tormek Forum regarding honing after SJ-250.
Tooo sharp
😎

it can happen that you cut into the stone. Please sharpen in the other direction or use diamond wheels.
Wrong! Proper way to sharpen is with the wheel turning toward the blade, away from the blade for the leather wheel, he showed it correctly done!
@@93me11 It's a japanese waterstone. It can happen that the blade will cut into the stone.
@@93me11 on diamonnd stones maybe but not on a japanese stone. It's too soft, you risk to cut into the stone and hurt yourselfe.
