Tools and Hardware Reviews of DMT W250FCNB 10-Inch DuoSharp Bench Stone Fine / Coarse - No Base
Customer Review: Finally a quality product that does what it's supposed to...
Summary: 5 Stars
I've tried several different sharpening systems, and sharpeners over the course of my lifetime, and without a doubt, the DMT DuoSharp is the best I've personally used. The Stone is very effective having both coarse and fine sides to it, and it is quality built. I will have this stone for my lifetime, and my son will probably inherit it after I'm gone.
If you're looking for a stone to take a damaged or totally unsharpened edge to a razor edge, then this is the one you need. If a more polished edge is what you're after then the Fine, Extra Fine is the one for you. With these two stones, you can sharpen and hone then polish anything from a pocket knife to a hatchet and then on to a Samarai Sword. I'm currently working on putting a razor sharp edge on a Hattori Hanzo replica sword my son owns.
This is a pricey stone, but remember... you get what you pay for!
I'd buy it all over again!
Customer Review: Really great; saved my chisels
Summary: 5 Stars
This diamond stone is really useful. After attempting to regrind, then hone some old chisels on a set of waterstones, I had almost ruined the chisels due to the fact that the large amount of grinding that had carved bowls in my stones (which I didn't notice right away).I purchased this diamond stone to true the water stones and it does a great job, rendering them flat with just a few strokes. The added bonus was that I also used the diamond stone for the first stage of regrinding the chisels; it was much faster than the water stone and stayed flat during the process.
Unless you have a method of securing the diamond stone to your bench, get the available holder, its definitely worth the money.
I did notice a bit of rust forming on the steel substrate after leaving it wet, so I now dry it off after each use.
Customer Review: Super flat and super fast
Summary: 5 Stars
A super value sharpener for all your edges no matter what they are made of. Carbide, ceramic, tool steel, high speed steel all are sharpened very quickly to a very keen edge. The double sided design is a great space saver and the whetstone size is great for large plane iron flattening / sharpening. This premium value seems to be found in all the rest of the DMT product line too.Customer Review: Why did I wait?
Summary: 5 Stars
After buying any number of "pro" quality stones, sticks, machines and gadgets, I should have saved my time and money and bought this to begin with, I'd have saved a mint. With two sides I can do just about all I need without fear of burning, unless I want a polished edge.Customer Review: DMT diamond sharpener
Summary: 5 Stars
Fantastic product. Beats sharpening stones hands down.
I will purchase the extra fine/extra coarse stone soon.
Would definitely buy the base to go with the stone.
Its about 4" wide which makes it useful for plane blades.
