I was just about to place an order from Amazon; then read your post. Thanks; I added one to my order. Even 1 or 2 months wait doesn't matter; I haven't had one for 30 years.

I ordered one, but just how coarse is "extra-coarse"?

DMT says about 220

After some use, I think it would be around 400-600 grit waterstone equivalent.

I've never used a DMT. How flat can I expect it to be?

The DMT solid-surface stones are pretty darn flat. I think that if you're flattening metal surfaces (e.g. the backs of chisels) and need to remove a lot of metal, you're better off with sandpaper on a patten. But they're certainly flat enough for everyday sharpening use.

I just received notification from Amazon that mine is on the way. I half expected this order to get cancelled. Anyone else already get theirs?

I got my shipping confirmation also.

I received mine today, got the email it shipped Nov 3 and it came in the mail today Nov 5th. the amazon box was a bit beat up as they don't add much packing and it rattles around in there. but the plate is just fine and works good. Definitely a good deal

Mine is supposed to come in another week, I think. No shipping confirmation yet, though.
