Shapton Cast Iron Lapping System 0510

Shapton Naoru Cast-iron Lapping System SH-0510

The Shapton Naoru cast-iron lapping system is designed for cleaning and lapping your sharpening stones. It is suitable for use with Shapton Japanese stones, but can also be used with other sharpening stones. The set consists of a cast-iron lapping stone and two bottles of lapping powder (silicon carbide - coarse grit, and medium grit).

Even if you use the best sharpening stones in the world, if they are not completely flat, you will not be able to fully utilize them. That's why it's important to lap them. The lapping stone is heavy and hard. It has dimensions of 25 x 10 cm. It is enriched with grooves with a crystalline structure. These grooves improve the interaction between the lapping stone and the silicon carbide grains.

The Shapton Cast Iron lapping system comes with two bottles of silicon carbide grit. One bottle contains coarser grit, designed for lapping Shapton stones with a grit size of 120 to 320. The second bottle contains medium-sized grit, which is intended for lapping Shapton sharpening stones with a grit size of 1000 to 4000. If you want to lap stones with a grit size of 5000 and above, a bottle of fine grit can be used, which is sold separately.
