OT. Why are lapping plates expensive?
http://www.practicalmachinist.com/vb/general/ot-why-lapping-plates-expensive-320430/

"for a 4" square depending on what your doing a simple chunk of mild steel surface ground flat can work real well with diamond grit rolled in it, no real need for groves even i your using finer grits too.

Your millage may vary but it works great with 7 micron diamond grit for putting a near mirror finish on ground parts - smaller cutting tools."
