What is it about the DMT 1200 that makes it not good to lap with?

I don't believe that there would be an actual problem using your DMT 1200 to lap with, since it will do the job......the problem lies in that the C12k is a hard enough stone to wear out the diamond plate and you WILL be replacing it soon if you try it.

There is only one D8C right? It's listed everywhere as a sharpener, but in our case we are using it as a lapping plate. Correct?

DMT dia sharp's FAQ recommends lapping waterstones with the D8C or coarser. (see #18) In either case under running water. Anything finer in grit than the D8C used to lap will eventually ruin the diamond plate.

Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
