    Default Diamond Plate - Coarse (C) - 45 Micron

    What grit would this equate to? The Craftsmanstudio site doesnt seem to give the info. I was wondering if this is good for flattening stones

    325, if I'm not mistaken, the one you linked to are the recommended DMT for lapping.

    I have asked almost the same question (cf. http://straightrazorpalace.com/showthread.php?t=20985) and Bruno, Wildtim and Russel Baldridge said that a DMT8C is a very good mean to flatten stones...

    But surely you will received more informations by more skilled and informed people than me. Nonetheless, hope it helps.

    BTW the coarse is 325 grit if I remember well

    I have one and it does a very good job lapping my hones.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Yes I do, I got the 3"X8" with this stone holder for an additional $12.50. Very happy with the combo. I set the holder with plate down in the kitchen sink and let a bit of water run on it as I do the X pattern thing with the stone face down on top. Like this.
