[QUOTE="okietom, post: 2773045, member: 18710"] I have lapped carbide with diamonds that I imbedded into cast iron plates. It was at work that I did that. We used diamond paste and a hardened metal roller to worked the diamonds into the cast iron. The plates would not wear even in use. We would make them flat again on a surface grinder before we used them again. I have read that you can roll the jacketed bullets between two metal plates to imbed the grit into them The bullet does not have to be soft to do the lapping. The Tubbs lapping bullets are jacketed. I am glad it worked for you with soft bullets. I really enjoy reading about your DIY successes. I [/QUOTE]
