So last week I got a Naniwa 12K and a Norton lapping stone (sort of an afterthought purchase, Amazon said other people bought them together frequently and I figured, why not? I had been using sandpaper previously). Here is my post on my experience with using the Norton lapping stone from another thread:

My question is, I noticed crazy swarf buildup on the 4k/8k today. I do the pyramid method of honing, usually not moving on to the 8k until swarf stops forming on the 4k. I had been getting great results honing my favorite wedge this method previously. Today, however, no matter how many passes I did the swarf never quite stopped. Even on the 8k.

The other thing I noticed was one side of the edge got cut abnormally high. My favorite wedge is my favorite because it has a wonderfully thin bevel. After the first 20 or so laps on the 4k, the bevel on one of the sides got insanely high (or thick or whatever you want to call it). The other side remained unchanged.

Do you think either of these things (the ton of swarf or the bevel getting high on one side) was caused by the Norton lapping stone? Could it have done something to the 4k/8k to make it cut faster/harder?
