What you going to lap em with? Back when I got mine, I got the Nani lapper, drew lines all over my stone and had at it. It worked. But a diamond plate is what I’d recommend anymore. Of only because I know the plate is flat.
Of course sandpaper on your kitchen countertop is all you really need.
Anyway, more interesting to me is, have you thought about if you are going to soak them before working them or not? And if you are, do you lap before the soak, or after?
New stones are fun. I love my Nani’s. They are what I use to compare all my other stones edges by. They are remarkably consistent. I think you’ll love em. Cool 3-d too by the way.

My plan for lapping was w/d sandpaper on a smooth marble tile. I used it with good results on the Shapton 1.5k stone. My understanding of the Super Stones is no need to soak, so I'll probably just lap under running water - with maybe 1k grit sandpaper. I'll do some browsing in the forum and see what others have recommended/done and go from there.
pretty cool holder. enjoy the hones!
I think you’re 100% right. I’ve always soaked my stones, but I don’t think it’s a good idea. Especially if it’s a combo stone. I know I’ve stopped doing it.
Either way, sorry for rambling. Congrats on your stones - use em in good health!
Very cool stone holder design for lapping I’d probably go 400 or 600 on the w/d. 1000 will burnish the surface a bit which may slow the stones down.
I must say the Atoma 400 is a godsend. I used an acrylic plate for a while but I burned through a ton of w/d. The Atoma is like a never ending sheet of w/d.
I have a Naniwa lapper I’m not a fan but if you want it, it’s yours for the cost of shipping.

Nice score on the stones! I bought a DMT and lap with running water.
Amazing 3d print design i must say.
That would be really handy when/If you get Into naturals.

220x & 320x w/d paper on a proven-to-be-flat surface will work best usually. Finer papers are much slower and the surface they leave can impede the stones cutting abilities. For a substrate, many counter tops and tiles are not that flat. They will work in the sense that they will be a substrate but they will leave a surface that matches how out of flat they are. Some glass plates are 'flat enough' though. Most lapping stones need to be lapped, so that's always been a point to consider.
Yup I lapped I lapped the Naniwa flattening stone for him on the Atoma but it would be good to check it again upon receipt.
I've had good luck on 400 grit paper. How do I get one of those stone holders? Pretty sweet
