Look at the dimensions. You want the ~200x70mm one for lapping etc.

I recommend DICK. I bought mine there a couple of weeks ago.
Dick doesn´t carry the coarse, but is able to get it for you.
It might take 4-5 weeks, though and costs about 60€.
You definitely have to ask them about the DMT C 325 in ~200x70.
Like I said, I got my 325 from them.

The thing about flatness and DMT is: usually they come very flat.
There are a couple of reports of DMT that are out of whack.
This would be very unfortunate because I dnon´t know about replacement procedures for
special orders. You might want to ask Dick about this.
I checked my 325 and 600 and both where within tolerance and leave perfectly flat surfaces.

The DMT 325 is highly recommended for any Naniwa from 1k to 12k.

If worn in correctly and without high spots it will cut a stone flat quickly but leaves a very, very good surface.
No scratches if done correctly. I am pretty sure the 120 will leave not only scratches but actual holes in the surface,
that need refinement afterwards.

And btw. why bother buying Nagura if you can use your DMT 325 to build a nice slurry?

For lapping I decide to finally buy DMT 325. On Olivia page www.olivia-seife.de/shop/hwherren/steine.html

have DMT's, but, which one for Naniwa stones? Coarse, fine or extrafine?

DMT coarse: € 50,00
i
DMT fine: € 50,00

DMT extrafine: € 50,00

DMT´s come in the following grits:

coarse: Mesh 325
Fine: Mesh 600
extra fine: Mesh 1.200

The DMT coarse, 325 is the recommended grit size for lapping purpose.
You might want to read further posts about lapping with the dmt.
You remember, the DMT from Olivia are the small versions.
These are actually smaller than most stones to be lapped.
You might want to reconsider this fact.
It is popular belief that a lapping stone should be as big as or slightly bigger than the stone to be lapped

Have you tried dick.biz?

I was on dick.biz, and probably this is stone what I need!? Am I right?

Trueing Blocks | DICK GmbH - More Than Tools

Unfortunately, not. I remember! Dick.biz doesn´t carry it,
but can get it for you as a special order.
The DMT´s they currently have are 120 or 600.
You might get along with each, but the 325 is the best comrpimise between
quicknes an smoothnes of surface.

I contacted dick.biz via Email asking for the DMT 325 in ~200x70mm, to get mine.
Maybe they can get you one, too. But it will take up to 4 weeks, I recall

try knives&tools.nl

Lesslemming, it will be very nice if you try get one more for me. I really appreciate it, if you notch with DMT.
