Thread: Nice to meet yall, starting to restore razors.

Too small for lapping stones. Try the Chef Knives to Go 400/1000 it is a good plate with uniform grit for $30, or DMT, EZlap, Trend or Atoma.

For most work and lapping CKTG plates are good enough, what you are paying for is a flat substrate, (though dead flat is not critical) and how well the diamonds are attached and sized.

Most diamond plates are pretty much the same, except for the real cheapies from Harbor Freight and the like. But most are good, even some inexpensive plates from Ebay.

You want at least close to 8 inches for lapping. The trick to not ruining a lapping plate is to use under running water and not with a lot of pressure. If the plate clogs and you use pressure you can rip out diamonds.

Some of my plates are at least 10 years old and still cutting.

Here is the link, for some reason it is not with other Diamond plates.
