Double-Sided Diamond Bench Stone (Medium/Fine) Key Features: - Medium Grit (280) Green Side - Fine Grit (600) Blue Side - Non-slip Base - 100% Uninterrupted Diamond Coating - Screw Holes in base for bench mounting The full edge-to-edge uninterrupted diamond surfaces on the benchstones make for quicker, more efficient sharpening, at a high value. The green, Medium side (280 grit) will quickly recondition your blades, removing substantial amounts of material from your blade to re-define its edge. The blue Fine side (600 grit) will produce and maintain a micro-serrated working edge, polishing away the marks from lower grit stones. The 600 grit stone produces a working edge that is adequate for nearly any task, especially cardboard cutting. A perfect addition to any craftsman’s workshop, the diamond abrasives on the benchstones are excellent for repairing and maintaining a large range of tools from dull and damaged kitchen knives, to well maintained woodworking chisels.

Step 4- Using light pressure, push the edge of the blade across the stone in one motion, much like trying to slice a thin layer off the top of the stone. Maintaining a consistent angle is essential for the best results. Step 5- Repeat process 3-4 times on one side of the blade then switch to the other side and repeat. Step 6- Repeat this process until edge is sharp then progress to finer stones and repeat. Step 7- Clean your stones. Clean the Diamond stone with a damp rag after each use. Suggestions 1.
