Looks absolutely wonderful! After seeing the sweet lapping porn I think I'm finally going to have to get some pictures of my plate in this show and tell section. Off to find the camera!!!

What is the size on this thing?, 8"x3" or is it bigger?
Maybe I'm crazy, but it would be nice to have a lappingplate that is bigger than the hones you want to lap..

It's sized to fit the Shapton Ceramic on Glass stones. It's 2 3/4" wide by about 9 1/2" long. Lapping a 3" wide stone like a Norton would simply require a circular motion, some diagonals, etc; mixing it up a bit. For the Shapton ceramics since this lapping plate fits the width perfectly, Shapton suggests a back and forth lapping motion (the lapping plate is at least an inch longer than the ceramic plates) finishing off with a few diagonals for good measure.

No problem on this with a larger stone.

8"x3" coticule, not bad.. the tiger-coticule you have, that one i smaller right?
Well, I think I'll stick to my D8C as lappingplate for now, can't see what this will give, since it is same grit and things.. maybe it is überflat but..
But for looks.. It looks cool, they gotta have that!

I have used mine on almost all my hones and use it every day on my Norton 4K/8K. I really like it too.
