i got a granite rectangular stone about 16"x 4"x 2" and i was thinking that it could work as a lapping plate. now lets say that it is lapping worthy; what type or grit of lapping compund should i use?
now i want to consider the dmt plate too and i just found this which is 50% the price
Veritas® Steel Honing Plate - Lee Valley Tools
so it is granite & lapping compound vs dmt probably 325 vs the veritas steel honing plate.
