For those of you that have a DMTXXC and some fine or medium fine carborundum stones, has anyone made a lapping plate for their pollishing stones? I lapped an old craftsman oilstone(unused) and hit some of my fine polishing hone with them, a very nice smooth lap. With the money we spend on fine stones, I look for ways to make them last longer. I know and have done waterstone to waterstone but this make a lot more sense to me since the carborundum is not going to wear as fast as the waterstone. Grooves could be cut in them of course but the crafstman 6X2 did not stick.
