Thread: Introduction and question about grits

Yep and you might want to lap that too . I did mine.

10 pups is giving good advice as usual. You may get lucky and the norton flattening stone may not need it, but I'd check it with a straight edge if you have one. Lay the straight edge up on it and look at it with a light behind it. I believe the norton lapping stone is a 120 grit so if you find it too needs to be flattened/lapped you'll be well served to get some sandpaper that is coarser. Maybe 80 grit or so.

Will do, many thanks Jimmy
