More of an issue of the flat lap brand is the making sure you do not
cross contaminate the grit sizes. I had one here in Wyoming and kept
getting dirt blown in on the finer grits because I had the flat lap out
of doors. They can be messy so get a garage. I sold my like new 24"
for $25 so I didn't have to look at it.
To do over again, get about six flat laps and dedicate each one to a
specific grit. Throughly wash and wash the pieces before moving to the
next grit size and keep the dirt contamination away.
I now use a contour polishing grinder.
I might suggest trying out a flat lap with something else before working
on a meteorite. Just my 2 Cents for your thought.
It is a merry Christmas!
