I got this because my old diamond plate was really starting to rust in spots. I got a cheap one and wanted to spend a bit more hoping to get better quality. I use these to lap my whetstones.
After two uses is this plate, I'm noticing quite a bit of rust on both sides of the plate. I wash off all slurry and let it drip dry vertically. I contacted CKTG, hoping they could make it right for me. Mark was quick to respond to my inquiry. I was told basically this issue is very common and won't affect performance. But I dont like rust particles flaking off into my razor hones...It looks like I'm stuck with another rusting diamond plate.
Anyway both the 400 and 1000 sides have multiple high spots that need to be knocked down if you're using this to lap whetstones. Iit does seem to lap stones well enough.
Next time I'll spend good money for a DMT or Atoma. Hopefully neither of those will rust on me.
