A lot of people use Clover brand lapping compound (valve grinding compound)
which comes in a number of "grits". It is available from MSC, J&L, and most
of the catalog supply houses. It is probably not a good idea to try it
until you determine where the friction is and if the friction is excessive.
Suggest you check with Scott Logan at Logan Actuator Company.

I had the cross slide and compound on my logan lathe ground but there is
some resistance. I was thinking of lapping the slides to reduce the
friction. What sort of lapping compound should I use? I have heard of oil
stone powder but don't know where to get it. Any ideas?

thanks
