Tax included
Precision-ground to a flatness tolerance of 0.005" over the entire surface, this honing plate is an excellent substrate for diamond paste. Made of dimensionally stable low-carbon steel, it will retain its flatness over a lifetime of ordinary use; unlike sharpening stones, it will never need truing.

The machining process creates a regular surface pattern, imparting a very slight texture to help capture the diamond grit without compromising overall flatness. In use, the diamond particles readily embed into the softer steel, combining to form a durable, fast-cutting abrasive surface. Having a dedicated plate for each grit size used lets you work through grits progressively without risk of cross-contamination.
Plates can be glued to a backing board for ease of handling and storage. Similar in size to a regular water stone, each measures 8" x 3" x 3/8" and weighs just under 2-1/2 lb. Sold individually. Made in Canada.

There are several good ways to sharpen chisels and plane irons: water stones, diamond stones, oil stones and sharpening machines such as Tormek. All give sharp edges, but they differ in speed, maintenance and price.
A honing guide makes it easier to keep the same angle every time. The most important thing is to find a method you enjoy and use often. The guide helps you choose.
Which water stone you need depends on how dull your edges are and how fine a finish you want. A common setup is a coarse stone around 1000 grit to shape the edge and a fine stone around 5000–8000 grit to polish it. For chipped edges you need a coarser stone too.
Water stones wear unevenly and need flattening regularly. The guide explains grits, brands and flattening.
