The DMTs wear. Some say that the Atomas are better in this respect but I've only used DMTs.Morning campers, treated myself to a Shapton Glass 1600 and considering lapping options.
After a bit of googling it seems that DMT 325 is the expensive option, a slab of glass and wet and dry is the more cost effective option, anyone have any tips for the latter? What grade of paper do you use?
TIA and Happy New Year!

For a stone of that grit I would lap using sheets somewhere between 300 - 600 grit.Many thanks, assume 2000 for my 1600?

Ahhhh ...And now my turn to feel an idiot; that was a typo, that should have read 16000...... Sorry, I can't believe I have only just noticed that! Should I go for 2000 for my 16000?
And I will check sheet sizes before I order, thank you.

It doesn't take it down to the grit rating of the slurry stone but I have found that it will affect the top end finishing performance of a stone.I used 400 Mirca wet and dry on a 12000 something welsh stone and the result was flat and very very smooth it did not transform 12000 into a 400 stone
