Recommendation Tools For Nib Grinding

[sidthecat]

I'd recommend a fistful of cheap nibs, for purposes of practice.

Richard Binder suggests: Wet/Dry sandpaper 2000 grit, max. Auto part stores, Then, 3-way Buffstick 2400 4000 12,000 grit
Find at https://www.sisweb.com/micromesh/nail-files.htm Finally, Lapping film (micromesh) 1 micron and then 0.3 microns

So in general, in reducing the width of a nib that one wants to keep round, does one grind off the circumference of the nib to narrow it first, and then polish the writing surface of the nib?
