It's an actual lapping bar sold originally to hone woodworking tools.

Got mine from Lee Valley Tools:

http://www.leevalley.com/wood/page.aspx?c=1&p=33009&cat=1,43072,43071&ap=1


I lube it with diesel rather than water... works a treat and the price is pretty reasonable.

The only downside is that it's pretty soft... I find I need to true it fairly often.  Lee Valley also sells the tool to keep it true !



  Actually, if you want to go that fine,
  www.rockler.com sells "Micro Mesh"
  ranging from about 2400 grit up to
  12,000 grit for $3.59 per 3"X6" sheet.
