So, I "borrowed" a microscope from work (they'll never miss it).
Took an inexpoensive HSS SRG, and sharpened in various ways. Here are the micrographs:
Dry grinder, 80 grit CBN wheel:
Dry grinder 180 grit CBN wheels:
Tormek immediately after leveling stone (no grading):
Tormek after rough grading and honing the flute:
Tormek after fine grading and honing the flute: No, I did NOT switch these photos. Weird huh?
More photos in next post. I hit the 5 photo maximum.
