Really like the 885's in the 50 grit.
Tru Grit had some of the new VSM AK 890 which is supposed to be the competitor to the Cubitron II. Profiled a batch of blades and it d##n't wear as expected. Had some areas where chunks of abrasive were torn out. The outer edges wore down fairly quickly. I d##n't put the sharp edge of the steel into the abrasive so it was fairly uniform across the entire belt. Profiled out about 25 blades and it does hog out plenty of steel and is still aggressive enough. Just not accustomed to the belt wearing that way.
The XK 885 50 grit has beveled about 20 blades at this point and the surface of the abrasive looks pretty good.
These are from the prior day's grinding session:
