Thread: Chinese 12K as a Dressing Stone

I can say I tried this 5 min ago, using the Chinese 12k on a Belgian Blue and a Shapton 16k.
Results? It worked really well! The Ch12k wasn't even touched, I don't think it lost a single particle, but it produced white slurry on the Shapton and a Purplish slurry on the BBW! I don't think the Ch12k could ever serve as your only lapping stone, but it definitely works great when smoothing out the scratch pattern left from a DMT D8X or D8C.

Note: To overcome the immense stiction, I used very warm water, and turned the sink faucet up full blast while "lapping" with both hands.
