I CKed one of my swaty stones on a DMC 325 plate and according to the lapping plate the swaty was a little off. I guess because it was smaller than my other stones it really didn't make any difference.

No new stone I ever bought was flat .
The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.

Start with 120 grit Drywall Sanding Screen to get flat, on the floor on a piece of marble or granite tile in a cookie sheet, then progress to 220 and 320 wet and dry, once flat. Use your body weight and lots of water.
The 220 and 320 will lap off any grit that come off the 120 screen.
Should only take a few minutes, you are just not using low enough grit, or as said a 320 ish diamond plate.
Chef’s Knives to Go, has a real nice 140 grit 8X3 plate for 30 bucks that will make quick work of lapping to flat.MT4 likes this.
