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.

Hakuto

Medium hardness, they are ideal for creating softer bevel changes and finishing full convex grinds. Given the available grits are only medium to high grit, Hakuto 1 stones are best left for use after initial, coarser work has been completed. 

Recommended for advanced users.

These thin (2.5mm) options are more affordable than the standard thickness (3.5mm) but will still sharpen for a very long time.
