    Default Brand new DMT 325 vs Brand New Naniwa 12k. Not a good combination?

    Ok, so i just bought a brand new DMT 325 plate, and lapped up my 1k, 4k, and 8k norton stones, and they feel perfectly flat, definitely the smoothest Ive felt them (disclaimer, my honing ability is still pretty negligible, I've 'honed' about 4 razors, so the experience i have with these stones is still pretty small :P). So Ive read a few threads about a DMT 325 against a Naniwa 12k, some people said they had issues, some people said they had no issues. but I definitely had an issue. my DMT scratched the crap out of one corner, but worked well on the rest of the stone. Heres a picture.

    So my questions is if i should try again, or try something else.
    Just as a side note, I would just like to say that my previous lapping method was a granite stone, and a 600 grit sandpaper. On the 1k, 4k, and 8k, the DMT feels vastly superior!

    Thanks!

    UPDATE: I have discovered that this has been done this to all my stones in the exact same place, i just didnt notice at first, because the gouges weren't nearly as big the 1,4,8k nortons. So I'm pretty sure its the DMT?
