Tools and Hardware Reviews of DMT W8E 8" Diamond Whetstone Sharpener,Extra-Fine with Hardwood Box
Customer Review: Electro Deposited Diamond Stones
Summary: 4 Stars
Diamond sharpening stone have been around for many years. The DMT stone consists of a steel backing plated with electro deposited diamond grit in a nickel matrix. The diamond bearing surface is backed up by a sturdy glass reinforced plastic base holding the plate stiff and flat. Unlike regular bench stones which can be used up like a bar of soap, the DMT stone has only a single layer of abrasive and there for a limited working life. As with any product, diamond sharpening systems have their advantages and disadvantages. They are not well suited for sharpening steel for even the hardest steel has the ductility to degrade the diamond abrasive much like a fingetip degrades a sugar cube.
Diamond sharpening works very well in spite of this disadvantage. I've used them for many years to keep my bench chisels and plane irons keen and scary sharp. Restoring an edge with a DMT stone requires certain technique which appears in the enclosed directiond for use.
They are subject to abuse and their surface may be stripped of abrasive if the sharpening process is forced.
I'm ready now to replace one of my 5 year old DMT stornes that has gone bald.
