lapping a chosera 1k?

I just had my Chosera 1k delivered and I was wondering what sandpaper to buy to lap it with?I know to buy the wet/dry sandpaper what grit #.
Also I assume the stone will need the edges rounded off too.Will the sandpaper take care of that too?

Thanks for any help.

i usauly use a dmt325. wet and dry will work fine. probably use 220 or a 400 grit. then give it a good rub over with the nagura stone . you will have to post what you think to it? i've heard nothing but praizes.

Yes. Sandpaper will quickly round over the edges. It doesn't have to be anything drastic, it just needs to dull the sharp corners.
 
If the Chosera is resh from the factory I would recommend a 220 grit sandpaper to begin with.
Smooth out the scratches left from the 220 with a 320 grit sandpaper.
Usually this gives very good results for a 1k stone.
If you want to you can finish with a 400 grit sandpaper and you´re good to go.

Knock off the edges of the stone with the 320 grit and/or 400

You are familiar with the rudimentary mechanics of lapping and rounding the edges, I presume?
