Well.. to give this topic its own thread AND given the fact that I'm in the middle of lapping my new Volcano 7+, I decided to post about my experiences. I actually should make pictures of the process :smokin:
There are several guides on how to lap and what equipment you'd need. I went with 400, 800, 1000 and 1200 grit sandpaper. So for now, I'm still in the first phase, using the 400 grid. I'm using mirror glass tiles as lapping surface.
So what's the first thing I noticed when I did the first lappingrounds on my Volcano 7+? It is NOT FLAT at ALL !!. Sure the base had long grooves visible to the eye, but it was impossible to see it was not flat untill I made some progression on the lapping. So my first impression... if you haven't lapped your Volcano 7+, do so!
I will add a picture of the base as soon as my digicam's battery is recharged :blah:
