Chips on coticule

[BakerAndBadger]

Yo honeboys,

I've spotted another coti on the bay that looks interesting however it has a number of chips along the edges, some bigger than others but I'd say nothing more than a few mm. Now I don't want to be bothered lapping it till they disappear as it'd be a waste of coti so if lapped and chamfered would these interfere with my honing? I feel not as the rest of the edge should help pass over them but I've never honed on a chipped coti which is why I'm asking the experts for advice!

As long as you had flat surface to work with chamfering would not harm it.

Cheers Isaac. I've got a lovely glass shelf and some W&D to use on it. Once I've lapped I'll chamfer, and I guess you are saying that that should be enough. The chips on the side will be more cosmetic than detrimental to the edge?

Ask long as it is all smooth and nothing would catch the edge, you should be fine.

You can also fill them in and lap them flat. If you get it i can instruct you.

Cheers Scott, I may have to take you up on that offer!
