Lapping Eschers - scratches on surface w/ DMT325
Hi guys,
I have an Escher (Y/G) which I got from Jimmy a few months back and I love this stone. The edges are unreal and the feedback is fantastic. I have lapped this thing with a DMT325 and it is flat as they can get, but I have noticed some scratches on the surface of the stone (nothing deep, but you can visibly see) and I can't seem to get rid of it. A few questions for you pros out there
- How can I get rid of them?
- Is this the result of me sing the DMT325? If so, what lapping stone do you guys recommend
I read somewhere that scratches can affect the edges...I haven't experienced any adverse effects based on shave tests...I just want to make sure I use the appropriate medium for lapping this beautiful stone and not end up ruining it over time.
Thanks in advance guys.
