    What? Another one?
    I'm going to have to do some prioritizing on that amends list.

    I have been on the fence about purchasing the Shapton lapping plate. I have also been looking at the Trend plate. I do not hone a lot, but I want a good solution for lapping/cleaning off hones. I have the Shapton glass system so I am leaning towards the Shapton lapping plate, but the price is still a major deterrent. I have a the ubiquitous DMT hone (doesn't everyone have one?) but seems like there are better options out there.

    If you do not hone a lot, I would not recommend the DGLP. It is an awesome plate but the Trend plate will work too. You also might want to check out the even cheaper options that Euclid described.

    This thread was added to the Library, in the lapping section. It helps to give direction when choosing a diamond plate.
    Thanks for starting it.
