I have attempted to lap the Chinese 12 K with a norton lapping stone. The top seems flat after rubbing off all the markings. There is a slurry from the lapping stone and the 12k when it is done. However, the surface seems really rough. Is this what to expect for polishing or should I use something with a higher grit to lap and smooth the surface of the 12K?
When I hone with it, it seems too gritty.
Any advice or suggestions?
