Double Check re Shapton 16k and DMT8c
I have a chance to pick up a Shapton 16k, which might be used either to progress beyond my Nani 12k, or used just for touch ups.
I already have the DMT8c that I use for lapping my Nanis from 1-12k.
Is the DMT8c okay to use on the Shapton 16k?
If I have to buy another lapping plate, then I will probably pass on the Shapton 16k.
Thanks.

Yes the D8C is fine for that.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

+ 1 on Jimmy's comment. I use my DGLP for mine, but I have an 8C and it works fine as well.

I have been using a lapped fine grit carb stone on my Shaptons and find the surface feels much better that the DMT. The carb laps much less material and honing feels very smooth. IMHO
