got my norton 4k/8k but need to lap it confusion with DMT plates can you help
so my norton came and i was getting ready to hone but when i went on youtube people are talking about lapping a new norton using DMT plates. here is the video link:
gssixgun Norton 4k 8k Lapping - YouTube
the creator of the video says he uses two different grits 120 and 325 DMT plates.
are these the same plates:
DMT D8E Diamond Sharp Whetstone 200 x 75mm Extra Fine hone honing | eBay
but these DMT stones i have linked are sharpening stones in there own right so do i use the DMT sharpening stones to lap the norton?
is 120 and 325 too low a grit?
i know you can use wet and dry sandpaper its stated in the video
i live in the UK.

The 325 (coarse) DMT sharpening plate will work, the norton flattening hone costs less and works faster, and sandpaper on glass is cheaper still.
The 325 is nice though for making slury, and cleaning the norton before each use IMO.
