    I bought the Atoma at Amazon for $69, was looking at the DMT 8x3 Dia-Sharp 95, $134, would of blew it if i would have bought it. My friend has a DMT and the stones stick which is ridiculous, I use the Atoma on all of my expensive Shapton glass stones and it is the best!

    Good tip on putting the lapping plate on the holder when bevelling the stone edges. Might want to add you only need TINY/none pressure on the diam plate when lapping, just enough for the entire surface to contact. I do the stone edges/corners bevelling less aggressively, I'm worried it might chip off the ceramics and the chip will only get bigger as time goes.

    Here to learn will watch your usage tips video next to learn the care needed or at least check our own status on maintenance of our water stones in the house here. Nice pencil and bevel edge work tips Thank you Lance & Patrick.

    Can the Atoma diamond lapping stone be used on a low grit carborundum sharpening stone?

    Hi, great video!
    I am currently considering buying the shapton pro 320, 2000, 8000. My lapping plate I am considering is an atoma 400. Can you use an atoma 400 on a 320 stoe?

    • @kutaboveperfection
      @kutaboveperfection  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes you can use it on a #320 stone however it will cause your stone to cut less aggressive initially. I recommend the #140 grit Atoma on stones under 2k and the #400 Atoma for stones over 2k in grit rating. Hope this helps. Stay sharp!🤙

      Depends how hard the stone is that you are Sharpening off of. generally the harder the stone the less likely it is to dish out and need lapping.
      Hundreds of knives can sharpened off of a stone if it is a quality stone and well-maintained by the user. I hope this helps thanks for watching🤙

    What is the purpose of rounding out the edges? Other than for aesthetic purposes, does it provide any benefit?

    • @kutaboveperfection
      @kutaboveperfection  6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I chamfer the corners of the water stone at a 45 degree angle to avoid chipping the water stone while it's being handled. Also, if you are sharpening knives or straight razors, as you are sharpening them, it keeps the blade from cutting into the edge and damaging the blade that you are sharpening.

    Should i buy atoma 400 grit whetstone or dual 400/1200 atoma is better ?

    Excellent review and demo. How do you like the Shapton Pro stones? I'm thinking about picking up the 1K, 2K, and 5K.

    • @kutaboveperfection
      @kutaboveperfection  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      The Shapton Pros are excellent stones depending on what you are Sharpening. The finer stones tend to require more pressure, however I like the 1500 stone, the 2000 stone, and the 5000 stone. The 1000 stone I didn't care for. The slurry stones work excellent on the Shapton Pros. I hope this helps!

  • @gentlemensedge5503
    @gentlemensedge5503 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Just curious..have you found a better lapping stone and have you used the Atoma featured on the higher grits like 20k?

    • @kutaboveperfection
      @kutaboveperfection  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      As of yet i haven't found a lapping stone that outperforms the Atoma. i haven't lapped a 20k stone with it. i would recommend trying the Atoma 1200 for a stone as fine as 20k. If you were lapping a 15k-30k stone that was dished out fairly heavy, i would lapp them first with the Atoma 400 and finish them with the Atoma 1200. I hope that helps.

      @gentlemensedge5503 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@kutaboveperfection Agreed, I just watched a guy who lapped a stone that took about 45 minutes and wondered why he didn't start with lower grits first, kind of like the grit progression when honing a straight. Instead he opted to use a fine grit all the way through. Thanks for responding, appreciate it. I'm subscribing and will look at what else you may have..

    What do you think of using the 140 grit for the same job?

    • @kutaboveperfection
      @kutaboveperfection  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, you could use the140 grit stone as well, but not recommended for the finer stone lapping.

    @CononBarrett 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great video, I have a Shapton ceramic 12000. Which Atoma do you think would be best for lapping it, a 400, 600 or 1200?

    • @kutaboveperfection
      @kutaboveperfection  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Glad you found the video helpful! You can start off with the 600 grit and finish with the 1200 grit for the best results🤙

    what would you say the lifetime of the plate is of you use it 2-4 times a week?

    • @kutaboveperfection
      @kutaboveperfection  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Sorry, I did not notice your comment sooner. However, to answer the question that you asked, I use this Atoma a couple of times per day for lapping and its held up well for over a year and a half and still going strong.

    Was that a trend that you showed as your previous favorite stone ?

    • @kutaboveperfection
      @kutaboveperfection  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Not completely understanding your question Sam. The Atoma 400 grit is and was a great all around lapping stone for most water stone grit ranges. I now use the Atoma 140 grit for my lower grit range stones under 2000 grit and love it. It’s a faster stone for lapping. I hop I answered your question. Thanks!

    why is the abrasive medium so thin on your water stone?

    • @kutaboveperfection
      @kutaboveperfection  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      The water stone was thin because I used it every day several times a day. However, as I mentioned in the video it was time for it to be replaced.

      It can, however, I'd use the Atoma 140 grit stone for any stone with that low of a grit rating. I'm currently using the 140 Atoma and love it for lapping my stones.

    Do you have anything against sharpening cutting edges directly on a diamond lapping plate?
    Also, after years of use, have you noticed any wear on the surface of the plate. In other words, has the lapping plate gone out of flat?
    Thanks for the review!

      As far as diamond lapping plates for Sharpening purposes, I think the finer diamond stones work very well however the courser diamond stones are a little too aggressive , making deep scratches hard to remove in your Sharpening progressions.
      I like to use diamond paste and sprays for finishing / stropping final cutting edges.
      As far as keeping your stones flat used for lapping as long as you try to use the whole face of the plate at all times they don’t really go out of flat when used that way. Yes these diamond stones do wear out but it can take a while up to a few years to do so. I hope this answered your questions. Thanks!

    After having this lapping plate for over a year and using a lot I must tell you that if you buy it you will love it, I have expensive Japanese knives, and I have the Shapton glass stones, the 500-2000-8000- 10000 and the 16000. This lapping plate is exactly what you need if you are thinking of getting any type of s tones

      I just read a user review in DMT official website says the DMT lapping stone wore out after about one month(about several uses per week.) So I'm wondering this Atoma stone will last longer than DMT diamond lapping stone?

    I'd never buy anything from a company who sells you only 1/4 inch thick of whetstone. They must be laughing all the way to the bank. I wonder how long it will last if you keep flattening it with that diamond plate. Probably not long.
