You forgot to mention King Caractacus...

Yeah, things can get messy real quick. As the great man said "What a wicked path we pave, When at first we start to shave..." or something like that.

All the bits are simple and as BigSpendur says, we can tend to overcomplicate matters somewhat, on occasion. You don't need a lapping plate. Wet/dry on something flat (sheet glass, ceramic tile) works fine. It is not as convenient, but it works fine.
