Not keen on the little round plates as they're easily overpowered by "muscle" and can leaves a less than flat surface, the plate I use is 12"x12" with centre mounted handles you use to guide it, as always Lapping is ONLY a finishing process used to smooth a true/flat surface left by the milling machine.
