Could someone lap a hone for me?

[JGKC9AYC]

I have a small hone. It's marked "Standard Jr".
I just picked it up at a junk store & was wondering if someone could lap it or if it's worth the trouble. I have nothing (that I know of) to lap it with & can't see purchasing a DMT just for this.



Thanks.

It looks like a lot of wear and tear and time on a dmt to get it flat. Buy some wet/dry 200 and give it a go on a piece of glass.

You can lap it using 320/400 wet sanding paper on a flat surface like a tile or a piece of glass.

yep 400 grit sandpaper or DMT325 (also works to lap ANY other stone) works fine for lapping...keep in mind that is a "touch up" stone only..you COULD use it to set a new edge on your razor(s)..but it will take a awhile...

4 bucks for a piece of flat marble from home depot and another 3 or 4 bucks for the sandpaper. You'll spend nearly that much shipping it such that it doesn't get damaged.

Lapping a stone is really easy. Just use a pencil to draw a cross-hatch pattern across the stone and do some figure-8's (on sandpaper as suggested above) until all the pencil marks are gone. Piece of cake!

I'm glad to do it if you want. As stated above, after shipping its cheaper to do yourself. PM me if you want me to do it though.
