Scratches after Lapping Chinese 12K
I got my DMT D8C and got to work on flattening my hones. The norton 4/8k flattened fine, but when I got to the Chinese 12k, besides taking FOREVER:eek::cry::gth I noticed scratches :shrug:
Take a look at the pic and please tell me if this is normal.
I kept both stones under running water and frequently pulled them apart to remove the slury forming underneath. My motions were consistently up and down 2 minutes, rotate, 2 minutes, rotate, etc..
I have long ways before I get to using the stone but I want to make sure that I won't need to reflatten the :cen thing.
The two LONG streaks aren't the scratches. They came with the stone. The swirls are what came out of the lapping.
