Tools and Hardware Reviews of DMT W6CP 6-Inch Diamond Whetstone Sharpener - Coarse With Plastic Box
Customer Review: Wore Out Very Quickly
Summary: 1 Stars
The DMT Coarse Diamond Whetstone (W6CP) that I purchased wore out very quickly (within the first usage). I was trying to sharpen the two hardened steel blades from my garden shredder. At first it seemed to sharpen satisfactorily but within a few minutes of use I noticed a marked decrease until it was not effective at all. I tried to scrub the whetstone with a stiff plastic bristle brush, cleanser, and water per the manufacturer's directions but there was no improvement. I then tried to sharpen an ordinary carbon-steel kitchen knife. The whetstone was only barely effective and took many more strokes and much more time than expected to produce even a minimally sharp edge indicating not many diamonds remaining. On the manufacturer's web site under "Easy Care and Usage" they state that during the "Break-in period ... Initially your diamond stone will seem especially rough. It will smooth over time with gentle stroking without impacting performance. You need not exert extra pressure - let the diamonds do the work! ... Use only light pressure when sharpening." My experience indicates that this break-in period is the only time when it was effective. I believe that a significant number, and probably the majority, of the diamonds became dislodged from the nickel plating and were lost. Apparently the user must apply only VERY gentle pressure to reduce this but will still see degradation in roughness (i.e., effective cutting) early on. I made my case to DMT Customer Service who offered to send me a replacement but I never received it. Subsequent emails to customer service have been ignored. I would not recommend this DMT product.
