SHAPTON GDLP.......I like it a lot!
Out of all the acquisition disorders out there, I currently have HAD.
As such, I sprung for the Shapton Glass Diamond Lapping Plate (GDLP). It took a few weeks to get here but it's here and I'm happy.
I want to write a full fledged review in the review area after I lap a few more stones on it. So far I've just lapped Shapton 2000 & 16000 grit ceramic on glass plates and my new tiger striped yellow coticle
I love this lapper.
I don't want to start a DMT vs. Shapton argument or a .001 flat vs. .5 micron flat argument. I sold my DMT D8C and went to this one and I like how this laps better; with the recessed areas, there is less stiction. Even with the recessed areas it's so flat across the surface, I can lift a stone I'm lapping and the suctioned GDLP off the bottom of the sink for about 3-4 seconds before they come loose. I don't know how I'd get a stone and this GDLP apart if it didn't have the recessed valleys.
