Thanked: 39Chinese 12k
I just got my Chinese 12k from woodcraft..Great Success!!!
Does it need any flattening or anything? If so I have the norton flatening stone, will this do the trick and shoud i do like I do on my Norton 4/8k?

Thanked: 6No it won't. Norton flattening stone is not hard enough to lap the chinese stone, the chinese will probably just eat away at the flattening stone. Also, I noticed the norton flattening stone left my norton 4/8k a little rough. I bought a dmt 8c which works awesome but of course is more money for yet another stone.
I know some people here mention that they have used 3m wet/dry sand paper to lap on a glass or tile that is perfectly flat. Probably don't have to worry about grit being embed since it's such a smooth stone.

Not to take anything away from Woodcraft (I bought my DMT's from them), but if you buy a 12k Chinese stone from Chris L, it comes perfectly lapped and shaped.

Thanked: 3795Most likely, you will find that the 12k is not even close to flat. It will take patience to get it flat as it is quite hard but it will be worth the wait! I think Chris still has some slurry stones left in the Classifieds so you might want to get one before they are gone. Adding a slurry to this stone definitely broadens its usefulness and speeds up this very slow cutter.
