    Default Probably asked before....

    but I can't find an answer. When using the Norton Flattening Stone, is that stone supposed to be wet as well as the stone one is lapping? Or should one just leave it in the dry and lap the wet hone on top of it? Thanks.

    What X meant to say is the stones should all be wet not that he's all wet.

    Lol. So, I lapped my Norton 4k/8k, and found out that Nortons are NOT flat from the factory. There was a large mound in the middle of the 8k side, it took almost 90 seconds to get it flat. The 4k side was better at about 75 seconds. I did the grid and everything.
