RE: Silicon Carbide. Just yesterday I ordered a 1lb pack on ebay of 100 grit for $12 shipped (search 230920848608). The intention being to find a better way to get/keep my oil stones flat (the cinder block just isn't cutting it...[pun intended]) and also use to do any other coarse lapping I have.
Can I put the stuff and lap directly on my granite tile or does in need a piece of mild steel or cast iron? Does it even matter?

Woodworking is terrific for keeping in shape, but it's also a deadly serious killing system...
