The only downside is I have to resist the urge to lap constantly, because I like the results so much...

I mention this because the flattening stone is coarse, like 300 or so, from what I've read, and you'll probably end up polishing the finer hones on something higher grit anyway.

Just a thought,

Josh:

Thanks for the review and suggestion. I'll add that to the mixer and give it a spin.
