For that, a Glass-plate and some 120grit wet and dry would be my choice.

He said norton flattening stone. Not the 220.

OP - why od you need to "clean" the flattening stone? Do you mean lap it? If so, your Nani 400 is not a good choice.

Indeed, my bad.
Ever more reason to not use the Naniwa as a flattener for it..

I meant lap it. Do I need to lap the flattening stone? What should I use?

Thanks,

I didn't and my nortons seem to work fine. I believe that MOST of the time the flattening stone doesn't need to be lapped but I could be wrong, it has happened once before.

I don't think the flattening stone is 220 grit if that is what you meant by your first post.
