I just bought a new Norton 4k-8k combo hone and wondered if lapping it with silicon carbide would work okay. I use it for leveling the water stones for my EdgePro Pro and it works just fine. In fact, I now have Ben's stone leveling kit which is a circle of plate glass bound by round rubber-tube edging to keep everything in place. Put a little water and some silicon carbide on the glass and it makes quick work leveling stones that are from 120 to 320 grit. (Haven't had to level the 600 yet!) It's a great way to go for these water stones, but would it be okay to use with the Norton? What think?

Thanks,

Bruce
