FAQ, Hints & Tips

Bedding In
All new diamond stones feel very coarse to the touch regardless of the micron or grit size of the diamond used. This is a result of the plating process and is quite normal. After the first couple of times being used. The stone will bed in and the difference in grit will become more apparent.

No Pressure
It is very easy to get carried away and use too much pressure when sharpening. It is absolutely the case that an easy light pressured sharpening stroke is all that is required to gain optimal performance from any diamond stones. To use too much pressure can tear the diamond particles from the nickel bed – compromising the performance of the diamond stone and reducing its serviceable life dramatically.

Lubrication
It is down to personal preference as these diamond stones can be used dry. However, it is recommended to use a lubricant. Water works well (but be sure to clean the stone throughly after use), or a purpose design lapping fluid which normally contains a rust prohibitor and helps clear the swarf.
