Using a 140 for stone flattening, and like it better than the DMT I had been using.

How much life do you get out of one of those pads vs a DMT?

I have had m ine for a year , 1.2k and it works great.
I use it to lap anything above 1k including 10k SS with no problems.

I've only had the Atoma a few weeks, so its life is still an unknown. So far, I haven't seen any indications of wear.

Nice. I am really attracted to the idea that they don't stick to stones when lapping. Is this so?

in my experience no they do not stick very easy

The stone has to be a real mud monster for the Atomas to stick. They're pretty nice for stone flattening.

I've had mine for a few months, using it a couple times a week, probably. Most of the wear would be due to flattening a Beston 500. It clearly does not cut like it used to but it cuts very well. It does not stick much at all.
