Hand lapping is fine for lower tolerances. But, unless you have an exceptional hand, you tend to get rounding. Now, that rounding isn't 1/8" or anything. But, it is significant for our realm where we are trying to mate two surfaces together. Bill had some good posts on this subject. Look for "hand lapping" or similar terms and search our forums.
