Mine came with two sets of stones and one set of wipers. This is an awesome product for the money. I have used a Sunnen that is exactly the same and I could tell no difference. The grits I received were approx. 120 and 220.

It does have grit. you can check on the description above. this stone is 1200 grit. i would recommend you to buy Japanese stone; the surface is more even.

I don't know, what grit is the whetstone? I do know however that this tool keeps my knives sharper than any steel ever could. I use it every day and am very happy with it. Every knife I have, from kitchen to hunting (excepting serrated) has benefited from this tool.

Whether you get a mirror edge depends on you. More specifically, you have to work your way through the various grits, whether using Edge Pro stones, sand paper, diamond paste and so on.Until recent, the finest stone in my collection was a 600. After using it, I switched to my sandpaper (1000, 1500) and water or oil. For the final, I used McGuires Mag Polish. Just a little rubbing brought a quick polish to the blade.As others suggested, you could take the polishing even farther, before the final, but that seems best suited for blades that are for show, rather than use.

Hi Tammy. This one does not come with any grit or fillers. I ordered them seperately. This is a really nice tumbler set. Mine has been running everyday for the last 3 months with no issues. I use one tumbler for the coarse cycles and the other for polish cycles.

You should have no problem using Diamond stones as they are very close to being the same thickness. On the other hand, ceramic stones are another matter. I would suggest you acquire a digital angle gauge like the "AccuRemote" which you can purchase through Amazon.com for around $30.00 which will aid in resetting your desired cutting angle for the different grits.

Yes, you get one of each color as pictured. No, they have zero grit. Hope that helps. :-)

It comes with 2 sanding drums for each size spindle supplied. 1 fine & 1 med. coarse grit.

Definitely a honing steel although it makes the knife sharper. Is this a trick question? As I understand it, by honing an already sharp knife one is straightening out any warps on its cutting edge. Half a dozen wipes over the steel alternating sides makes an amazing improvement.

yes the course grit will work quickly and put a fine, lasting edge on your lawn mower blades(you will have to do your part ~&gt; which requires effort) but I've no doubt you know that. ABOUT THE STONES - THEY ARE EXCELLENT YOU WILL BE WELL PLEASED

I purchased these for my husband and asked him. He said that the grit is fine and extra fine. There is no coarse grit to handle major jobs. You might start with a flat file and then use the stone.

I didn't notice any. I would estimate 400-600 grit. It is good for knives that are in fair sharpness. For really dull knives you would need to start with a more coarse grit. It is a good stone.

Not really, I would use in conjunction with a 8000 grit Japanese stone. However, using the diamond stone followed by a leather strop and some polished compound gives an excellent mirrored finished and a great edge. depends on the work you are doing and what you want to achieve. The beauty of the diamond stone is that it is flat, stays flat and sharpens very quickly whereas an 8000 grit Japanese stone is basically just a polisher.

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.

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.
