Hi folks,
I searched the archives but didnt find much recent info. I'm looking for a good quality lapping (flattening) stone for my Shapton Glass sharpening stones. I have grits from 500 to 6000. I'd say my budget is no more than $200. What are all of you using to flatten your Shaptons?
Some background.
* I've tried using my DMT diamond stones and the stiction makes that a pain. I've also used a flat granite tile wirh silicon carbide paper glued on. Again, the stiction is a pain.
* I keep eyeballing the Shapton diamond flattening plate, but just havent been able to convince myself to drop $400.
* Sharpening Supplies sells this one, but I dont know if it's worthwhile. LINK
I'd appreciate any experience or advice you can share.
Thank you,
Fred
