For all of your stone flattening needs!

The Tempered Glass Lapping Plate is designed for efficiently and thoroughly flattening NSK Kogyo Diamond Stones, especially for grits 1500 and below. Its large, extremely hard, and perfectly flat surface allows for more consistent flattening than using only the Stone Resurfacer or NSK Kogyo Flattening Stone, while also helping to reduce wear on flattening stones over time.

Because tempered glass maintains flatness exceptionally well, it provides a long-lasting, reliable reference surface for your stones. For best results, it should be used in conjunction with the other flattening tools.

Recommended Flattening Sequence
 1. Stone Resurfacer
 2. Tempered Glass Plate (with slurry generated from the resurfacer)
 3. NSK Kogyo Flattening Stone (closest respective grit)

This sequence ensures a fully flat surface and prolongs the life of your stones and flatteners.

Flattening Stones

Although all NSK stones are very wear resistant, these flattening/dressing stones are specifically formulated to counter the wear resistance and flatten at an impressive speed. They also work very well on natural stones as well, and the higher grit flattening plates will leave a scratch-free surface unlike many other diamond plates. The flattening stones are slotted to eliminate suction when rubbing against the sharpening stone.

If needed, coarser flattening grits can initially be used on higher grit sharpening stones to remove material quickly, as long as you condition the surface of the sharpening stone with a higher grit flattening plate before use in order to prevent overly-aggressive surface. Each grit of the flattening stones can be used on several different grits, so there is no need to get every single flattening grit for each corresponding grits of NSK sharpening stone you may have; see recommended grit ranges for each flattening stone below.

Flattening grits: 200, 400, 600, 1000, 3000, 6000

Recommended Use: Flattening grits from 200-1000 can be used on All NSK sharpening stones up to 1500 grit. All NSK sharpening stones with grits above 1000 should ideally be flattened with a grit as close to the stone's grit as possible. For example, a 3000 grit sharpening stone should be flattened with grits 3000 and above.
