so it would be great if you kept me posted on how you make out with the DMTs FloorPizza. i would be very interested to get your impression. and i will post my progress obviously.
BTW i lapped my norton really easily with some good quality 600 grit paper (less then a buck a sheet) and it worked great. i may get a lapping stone eventually but i know i can wait for a bit without it being a hassle or too much cost.
