Hopefully, you ordered a DMT 325 with the Norton for lapping the stones.....

They don't have the dmt 325 in stock. Is there something I can buy at a hardware store to flatten it out or lap it? Hopefully something cheaper

320 W/D on a flat surface works fine IME.

I too have the 4k/8k and the flattening stone by Nortone as well as the 1000/220 I believe it is. You will need a lapping stone like stated. I use the one that came with my kit. So far great results but I even hear that the Norton flattening needs dressing up every so often! I have a DMT 325 on my list for a better alternative like the others stated.
I also have a Shapton 12000 I added and a slurry stone so to speak. It never ends I don't think and honing is just one aspect of the big pie! I need to win a lottery or two!artp47 likes this.German blade snob!
