Gonna lap my E6400 and the TRUE

[craigwhiteside]

ey guys, anyone had any experience with this or any tips, would be awesome if you could :toast:

i got 400-800-1200 grit sandpaper, i hope thats ok lol

i noticed my e6400 isnt well exactly flat and is kinda concaved :( and my ultra 120 extreme is concave aswell, so i know im not getting a good enough contact, so i thought might as well give it a go :roll:

should be what you need to get a grip on things....if you have questions after those reads, Id be glad to answer specifics!

should i lap the TRUE using circular motions or back and forth and turning 90 degrees every once in a while

always go in one direction rotating 90 degrees each time you finish sanding in that direction

circular motion will round off the edges and create a concave finish so dont do it.
