I recently lapped a 12K grit Naniwa wetstone with a DMT 325 plate. The Naniwa was left with a peppered looking finish, but feels smooth to the touch. Almost looks like dirt. Is this OK to use as is or does it need to be re-lapped or somehow cleaned?
Thank you in advance.
My Naniwa 12K has the same peppery appearing finish, and it works fine.
I lap my Nani 12k with a DMT 225...thats it. It works great and shaves great!!
my 12k naniwa after lapped have the same bit pepper appering finish....at first i was worried...but after i have seen that's smooth and work very well...so i think was a problem of past.
I during the honing i use nagura to polish the surface...in this way the stone is very clean.
