I have a set of Norton water stones and I have trouble with the higher grit stones clogging/glazing (I'm not sure which). I find myself needing to use the flattening stone just to expose fresh grit after which they just seem to clog up again. I feel like I'm using plenty of water to carry off the swarf, but they still clog.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
