Thanked: 12I have a large Black Surgical Arkansas (12" x 3" x 1") which I bought new a few years back from a vendor in the US. I assumed it was lapped but apparently not that well done. Left to Right across the stone is OK but it has a belly of about 0.5mm in the middle (a bit over 1/64"?)
I tried a bit with a DMT but saw that woulld be a useless exercise and gave up after about 5 min a circular movements (did not want to ruin my diamond plate).
Anyway my question is can I just ignore this amount or should I send it to some professional outfit to correct it?
(Both sides have a belly)
(the original vendor stated it was within spec)
Cheers
Anthony
