This really sucks! Luckely I haven't ordered my D8E yet.I have sent an email to Howard and asked him if he would recomend that use of the D8E, I know he recomends using the D8C as a lapper.If this turns out to be a general problem, I'm getting the shapton 1k instead! Is there anyone out there who has used the D8E as a beve lsetter/lapper over a longer period of time? I just don't find the surface left by my D8C smooth enough at the higher grit hones, and I'm sick of using sandpaper!

Thanks Kristoffer
