+1 to what Piet said.

I have lapped literally hundreds of hones on glass, and without going to the expense of buying fragile sandpaper - I use lapidary grit instead. Dishes the glass after sometime, so I'm thinking of getting a cast-iron 'surface plate' instead - if I can find one cheap enough! Knowing my luck, though, it will dish faster than the glass!

That is the reaso why I did not use mine and lately you can get wide linisher belts of decent quality dirt cheap.
