Frequently Asked Questions

What grit sharpening stone should I start with?

For general tool maintenance, begin with a medium grit (around 400-600) to establish your edge, then progress to finer grits (1000+) for honing. If repairing damaged or very dull tools, start with a coarser grit diamond stone before moving through the grits.

Do Trend sharpening stones require lubrication?

This depends on the stone type. Diamond stones typically work best with water as a lubricant to clear swarf, whilst some stones can be used dry. Always consult the specific product instructions for optimal results and longevity.

How do I maintain flatness in my sharpening stones?

Regular use with consistent pressure across the entire surface helps maintain flatness. For stones that do develop slight hollows over time, Trend offers flattening solutions, or you can use a flattening stone or lapping plate to restore the surface.
