Thread: Lapping hones is tedious

I went to our local hardware store and asked if they had any lapping stones. You should of seen the looks i got . I found a sheet of 180 grit wet/dry sandpaper. I didnt know you had to go up in grit( ill have to rehone a razor). The 180 grit leveled the 8k right up, in a matter of minutes too. But thanks for your help.

Ps. It was gssixgunner's video.

Yup. I followed Gssixgun's advice on his norton lapping video and never looked back. The only addition I made was to include the DMT 120 in my progression. I draw 4 grids for DMT 120 and DMT 325 and then before EVERY time i hone I give the Nortons a couple quick figure 8s with the 325 to ensure the hone is flat and edges are camfered.
