Will I need to lap my set of Venev Cerberus Dog stones in order to clean them of metal dust and wear away resin?
Venev Cerberus Dog Series Dual Side Diamond [4" x 0.6"]
I have ordered a set of two Dual-sided Venev Cerberus Dog stones to use with my KME sharpening system. As I use the stones, will I need to lap or dress them from time to time, to remove metal particles or to wear away resin bonding material in order to expose new diamonds? And what grade(s) of silicon carbide powder will I need, in order to lap or dress them?

You probably won't have to lap them unless they start to dish after many uses. You can remove the metal build up with a Scotch bright pad, magic eraser or nagura stone if they load up on you. The binder on resin stones slowly wears over time exposing new diamonds while you sharpen. When you do have to flatten them you can use grit that approximately half of the stone rated grit.

The Venev stones do not need any preparation for initial use. You might be thinking of the Columbia Gorge stoneworks 4 inch diamond resin stones that have a layer of resin that needs to be removed before use. This is not the case with Venev stones. Occasionally you can refresh the surface with a Nagura stone and eventually (after a lot of use) you may need some slight flattening.
