    Make sure you lap the norton well, the 4k side needs to be lapped smooth which may take a few grid lappings.
    Any help needed just post away!

    Yup, for sure! You new guys who just acquired your Nortons be sure to lap them first. Look for Lapping 101 in the Wiki.

    BTW, if your going to use sandpaper for lapping be sure to not use much pressure. You don't want to embed any of the sandpaper grit into the hone. Just be patient.
