I have this set-up for my chisel blades. Various grades of wet/dry paper and abrasive 3M sheets all the way down to 0.5 micron. Those and a Lee Valley Veritas roller guide on top of a slab of granite make for some darned sharp woodworking chisels. The steel is polished to a mirror finish when you get down to 0.5 micron.
