Chris you could go to member services in the classifieds and offer professional lapping for a fee and you could leave it to your kids. :)

Just got off the phone with them. An 8" plate 325 grit is $1,200.00 USD. :dropjaw: I think I will stick to my lesser plates for now. :)

The XX is certainly an aggressive plate IME. May leave a rougher surface than most would like although I know at least one honer who prefers a rough surface. I don't have any experience with anything...
