BTW, the reason I purchased 3 was that they were all in one auction lot.

Randy, a lapping plate is an excellent Idea. I use a plate of polished granite with powders sometimes, but never thought of putting grooves in it...might have to do that.

Unfortunately, the biggest kanaban I can find here is only about 3 inches wide. I'd like a good foot for a lapping plate. I'd ask you to send me one, but shipping a 2'x2' plate of steel would be ridiculous.
