Default Why do chisels have to be sharp?

for my at-hand chisels, I keep a 600 grit diamond stone close and
touch the edge up before it gets dull. for some specialty chisels I'll
go to a finer stone, but they cut pretty well at 600 grit.




Does anyone know(or where to find) the equivalent grits between oil, water
& ceramic stones, diamonds and sandpaper? Rod


I believe stones are all reported in CAMI terms, which is to say
grains/inch.
