The Nano Hone NL-5 lapping plate is designed to flatten waterstones from 20μm(micron) to 0.5μm(micron) (from 400 grit to 30,000 grit).
The NL-6 is a traditional plated design. However, unlike standard designs, the NL-6 has a raised diamond coated structures. It is the edges of these raised diamond structures that are doing the heavy work.
The NL-5 has a star and hexagon pattern maximizing the number of working edges. This increases the number of edge-material contact points

Why should I have a lapping plate?

• To flatten the surface of sharpening stones.
• To clean the surface of sharpening stones.
• To chamfer the edge of sharpening stones.
