Use it when

The fit is obvious.

· Reach for the Atoma Diamond Plate 140 when the job is flattening sharpening stones, tool lapping, and hard surface grinding: that is the fight it was built for.
· Diamond is the only grain hard enough to boss stone, glass, and cured concrete around. Everything else just negotiates.
· This is the working middle: enough bite to matter, refined enough to leave the job somewhere worth continuing.

Skip it when

The job asks for something else.

· Leave it if you are actually solving a different stage of the climb than the one this pick was chosen for.
· Leave it if the budget is tight enough that value-per-pack matters more than top-end feel and longevity: good mid-tier paper will get you there slower.
· Leave it if the work is edges, profiles, and tiny repairs: those are easier to control by hand.
