The DMT DiaFlat Plus Lapping Plate (DMTDF95PLUS) uses a 95-micron diamond hardcoat, according to how the manufacturer describes it, which gives it quite an aggressive surface. This makes it a strong choice if you need to flatten waterstones or Arkansas stones quickly and effectively.

The dimensions of this lapping plate are 10 inches by 4 inches, which seems to offer plenty of room for most sharpening tasks. It’s a convenient option whether you're a professional or just someone who enjoys sharpening as a hobby.

Our research shows that it's pretty durable because of the way the diamonds are securely attached to the steel plate with a special binder, so it stands up to a lot of use without wearing out easily. People have even used it as an unexpected grinder for different metals, and it still performs well, which says a lot about its robustness.

That said, keep in mind that the 95-micron grit is really meant for coarser flattening. If you often work with higher grit waterstones, like 8000 grit or higher, it might feel a bit too coarse. Some folks have mentioned wishing there was a finer grit version for more delicate work.

Overall, though, the feedback in our data is pretty positive. People seem to really like how reliable and effective the DiaFlat Plus Lapping Plate is in keeping their stones flat and sharp. It's seen as a solid and lasting addition to sharpening setups.
