About UltraSharp Diamond Sharpening Stone Set - 8 x 3 Coarse/Medium/Extra Fine
Overall Feedback:
92% positive
85% found it versatile
I was able to flatten, sharpen a standard bevel, and a micro bevel on a chipped chisel in just a few minutes.
I found the sharpening stones to be versatile, wider than most good sharpening stones, and suitable for my no 7 Stanley hand plane.
82% highlighted the size and dimentions
After sharpening 30 chisels and 5 jack planes, I have no concern with the thickness of the steel, which was thicker than I thought.
80% were highly impressed by the material composition, but 20% raised concerns
After sharpening 30 chisels and 5 jack planes, I have no concerns with the thickness of the steel, which was thicker than expected.
After using the sharpening stone once, the part of the stone I used became dull and smooth.
86% were satisfied with the grit size, but 14% faced issues
At 600 grit, I achieved almost razor blade sharpness and at 1200 grit, my plane blades are scary sharp.
After using it several times, I noticed that the middle stone with grit size 600 has lost its grit.
I found that the 1200 grit ruined the edge on every blade I tried sharpening on these and also created divots in the edge.
81% found it easy to use
I was able to flatten and sharpen a chipped chisel in just a few minutes.
Within 10 minutes of use, the plates become smooth and even.
87% appreciated the durability, but 13% were dissatisfied
It took me about seven hours over six months to break in the sharpening stones, which was longer than suggested in the instructions.
While conditioning the stone, some patches of diamond came off.
