[QUOTE="SneakyCuttlefish, post: 332918, member: 3340"] I have been using plated laps with a backing plate but my laps are rubbish. They don't sit flat on the backing plate so the dial indicator waves like a royals fanatic at a Buckingham parade. So annoying!! This causes the facets to have a slight curve in them so they always need a bit of extra attention with a 3000# pre-polish BATT. I have tried everything. Even had the backing plate machined flat as a BATT. Still no difference. As soon as I have a bit of spare coin I'll be swapping them all out with scintered laps and hard back laps. [/QUOTE]
