Thread: What did I do?

I heard of submerging stones during lapping, especially with the Naniwa's to reduce the swarf, I believe. With that Norton set that Glen recommended, Excellent set btw, I have one, with the lapping plate. I lapp mine under running water, which I'm probably wasting water, but anyway, it works for me. I lapp lots and lots of stones, especially when I'm selling Coticules. I use the DMT's. For fast work and removing lots, I use the D8XX, followed by the D8C. Sometimes, that's enough, depends on what type of stone it is.
If I need a smoother finish, say like a Barber's stone, I'll go to the Wet Sandpaper for the final finish...

+1 on the Wiki, That's pretty much exactly how I do it...
