Thread: My head is full of hones...help :)

Sorry to hijack:

Would a DMT 6" Diasharp coarse/ extra coarse stone work for flattening Norton 4/8k stone?

I just don't want to buy the larger DMT.

Why not use some wet dry sandpaper until you want to buy something good, then get the 8 inch 325 dmt. I use the 6 inch to raise slurry but use the full size to lap. Its much easier with the full size dmt.

Basically no. The Norton is bigger than the 6" DMT so would be maddening to measure flatness & then have to lap specific areas of stone. So easy to get it wrong unless you've done that sort of thing before.
