Frequently Asked Questions
Do DMT Diamond Whetstones need oil or water?
No, DMT Diamond Whetstones can be used completely dry, though a light spray of water helps clear swarf and keeps the surface clean. Unlike traditional whetstones, they require no soaking or messy oils.
How long do DMT Diamond Whetstones last?
With proper care, DMT Diamond Whetstones can last decades of regular professional use. The diamond surface won't wear hollow like conventional stones, maintaining consistent performance throughout their lifespan.
What grit should I choose for general tool sharpening?
For general workshop use, a coarse grit (325) for initial sharpening and a fine grit (600) for honing provides excellent results. Many tradesmen opt for a DuoSharp stone combining both grits for maximum versatility.
