DMT, who pioneered diamond sharpening technology, uses uniform and precisely sized Monocrystalline Diamonds which are permanently bonded to nickel on a precision ground plate. Unlike lower quality polycrystalline diamonds used in competing products that break apart and wear away easily with use.
DMT Diamond Whetstones, when used with reasonable care, will give you many years of faithful service.
Diamond whetstones have two advantages over waterstones and oilstones. They cut more quickly and stay flat, but additional honing with finer abrasives is needed for the best edge. Our 8000 grit Norton Waterstone is an excellent choice for final honing after the Extra Fine diamond plate.
The 8 x 3 x 3/8 in Diamond Whetstones are well suited for flattening waterstones as well as plane soles, the backs of chisels and plane blades. |
