Kanaban - Steel Lapping Plate

$48.00

Description

Our lapping plates (called kanaban in Japanese) are engineered to our specifications in Sydney. They utilise a mild steel to keep them affordable, and can be used with abrasive powders, films and slurries to lap the backs of high carbon steel tools (ie: Japanese tools) flat.

Our preferred method is to scrub a #1000 waterstone across the top of the plate to leave a slurry, and use that slurry to lap away. Shapton's finemedium and coarse powders also do an excellent job, but we only use the fine grit when preparing new blades.

Dimensions:
210 x 75 x 16mm

This plate is highly susceptible to rust. It will ship to you with a light coating of oil wrapped in rust deterring paper. We recommend that it is washed before first use, and dried after use and returned to its original paper.

For a long time I’ve Been lapning on diamond plate but this Way of lapning the back of chisels and plane blades it super easy its not that messy. The water management is a bit learning curve but the result is really worth it

Works as expected. Happy Customer

Well packaged in rust proof paper but arrived with slight scratches in the surface. Hasn't seemed to affect usage.
Kanaban works well, very slow on western chisels with shapton fine powder but the kanaban hasn't seemed to show any wear which is pleasant to see. Overall happy with the product, definitely does well holding a slurry

This lapping plate is a wonderfully simple and fast way of achieving a very flat and polished surface on edge tools. I like being able to choose the type and grit of abrasive used.., I have even used it to prepare the back of a new single bevel Japanese kitchen knife with fantastic results
