    Unless you are applying precise and even pressure throughout your lapping process, it is a great idea to do what Glen mentioned. Spinning the stone as well as a combination of 'strokes', circles in both directions, ups and downs, lefts and rights, ending with figure 8's will give the best result without giving yourself carpal tunnel syndrome.
