Could someone please explain the grit of the following stones #120&#xFF0C;#320, #600 and #1500

As with sandpaper the lower the number the more aggressive the stones are in removing material. The 1500 is the last stone used as it is the least aggressive. The 120 is used to remove any chips in the blade and if you are going to cut a new edge profile. After the first time I only use the 600 and 1500 to sharpen my blades depending on the condition of them.

This is a stropping compound. I'm not really sure what grit that would be. I would assume several thousands lol? It's designed to "polish"/smooth micro imperfections in the edge of whatever you sharpened. Hope this helped.

I believe that it's 400 gr on one side and 600 gr on the other. I'm a woodturner, and I use this stone routinely to touch up my gouges and skews, to very good effect. The stone lasts as long as the equivalent from E-ze Sharp, in Nevada, and is a heck of a lot cheaper. Someone had complained about it de-laminating, but I have not had that problem, and am well into my second stone. Can't beat it for the price!

I don't know that they measure stones in grit. I can day that it is very fine, maybe 1200+

The ones we received are indeed Basalt, nicely polished. Basalt is fine grained which is why it can feel so smooth.It is slightly heavier than many other rocks of a similar size.Source Geologist :-)

It's part of what you need to fill the tumbler. The different sizes of grit are used to take stones for jewelry from a rough polish to a final smooth polish. These help prevent the stones from chipping as you polish them.

The wheels are white and are the same rather fine grit, but I have no idea what number that grit might be. The are great for sharpening my bench chisels and lathe chisels.

I bought this about a year ago so I do not remember. I think it was 100 grit, if any ..buy a pack or two with it. This is one of the best tools I have invested in . You will definatley enjoy it.

A decent whetstone when used properly will always get the best results with any non serrated blade from Kitana to Higo no Kami. Its what the pros use as well. As far as grit goes that all depends on how dull the blade is. A variety of stones will cover your bases and last damn near forever.

I think that the stone IS a steel plate. I think they have bonded diamond dust to the top of a flat bar of steel. Whatever it is, it works great.

The set is the same grit as far as I can tell, but it may be graduated slightly. They do sell a pack with around 9 files that have different grit's for each of the files. The files are so good that really you don't need a variety of grits. Best files I have ever owned!

180 220 320. I have one of these and I love this stone. with the medium and fine stones it's really easy to put an sharp edge on a knife.

This stone is very very fine. I'm not sure what the grit is. However, it is supposed to give your knife a mirror edge. My friends have gotten a mirror edge from this stone. I have not unfortunately.

You can zoom in on the product picture to see what grits... They should have it posted in the info section though. 1 very fine - 220 2 extra fine - 320 2 super fine - 400

I have never been too concerned about the different thicknesses of the stones. True, it will make some difference, but I still have great success. I would be mindful of over compensating. Best wishes to you and I hope you have great success.

Do NOT soak the 6000# grit (white) stone. Everything I have read states that because of the fitness of the grit, the can become fragile and crack. Soak only the lower grit (brownish) stones. see Korin website.
