markb Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Steve When you mention rolling the grain, I imagine the surface of the steel looking like carpet fibers. With the grinding belts laying them down and the stones leaving them more upright and open. Is this correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Sells Posted June 13, 2009 Author Share Posted June 13, 2009 yes that is why I added the term Planishing in the chat thread, as that is what is is, what isnt cut is "pushed" to smooth over. Which I think may be why old belts can leave a close to mirror finish in a blade, even a 400 grit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
