Diamond Sharpening Bench Stone, 6 x 2 Inch, Double Sided (300/1000 Grit) Bench Stone with Cleaning Block & Non-Slip Mat, DWS/W6/FC

This has been a quality stone. If you are like me, It is difficult to decide what type of sharpening setup you are going to use with hand tools if you are just getting into it with little to know knowledge to pull from. The diamond system is what I landed on. So I can't compare to Arkansas stones/whetstones at the moment. I can say I find these very useful when sharpening chisels in particular. I don't love sharpening my plane irons on them, but I do. The stone is not wide enough to work the plane irons straight on, so I have to skew my blade to hone wider plane irons. For the record I am a hobbyist woodworker for sure, no expert here, I'm just here sharing my experience. The diamond stone could be considered "expensive" so it kind of stink to have to buy it, but if you are using hand tools, having a way to sharpen your tools should be placed as a higher priority than the tool itself. A dull blade is just plane not safe to use, and it doesn't work the way it should, which will make you stop working with hand tools all together. I would buy this again, and I would recommend it to a friend. Just know you will have to work a little harder to sharpen your plane irons. I use the 300 / 1000 combo and finish with a leather strop. Probably not the sharpest tool, but that gets the job done for me.

Plenty of YouTube woodworkers use these diamond stones, and they’re right. Works as advertised. The Trend brand is highly recommended. There is a difference in the material and manufacturing of cheaper versions, which probably won’t last as long or work as well. I’d suggest doing some research before buying a lees expensive product.

Please read the dimensions before purchasing this diamond plate, the images all look like this is a full size plate and it's not. Other than the width this is a fantastic diamond plate, it will need to be broke in like any diamond plate. Very fast metal removal on the 300 grit and just what you would expect on the 1000 grit. I bought the lapping fluid which is way over priced, if you start using with water then that is all you need, if you must use lapping fluid I suggest baby oil since it is pretty much the same stuff.

Trend makes top rate stones. They are not cheap, but worth the $, especially when you want the best edge put on your expensive tools. Great for hand planer knives, lathe tool edge touch ups or just general shapening. Make sure to use a lapping lubricant to get the most out of the diamond stone.

A+++++. fast shipping

I got this and the oil. So that I could sharpen my carbide wood lathe tools. Saved me a lot of money doing it myself.

I purchased this stone a few months ago and have used it a number of times already the results I get from it are incredible!! 10 to 20 swipes on each side and you can shave your arm hair with them! Trend keep up the great work you have a life long customer here!

Heard so many good things about Trend diamond stones, but turns out that product quality is mediocre at best; ever so slightly better than the low end diamond stones from China.

the plate came out of flat with rust on it and a massive burrs along the edges on the coarse side. the diamonds areflaking off easily on the fine side, there are visible imperfections and grit contamination

Sharpened my knives to a razor sharp edge.

Bonjour, cette plaque d'affutage diamant TREND est vraiment efficace pour des lames assez courtes (moins de 12 cm). La plaque est bien plate et le grain des 2 cotés est régulier sans pollution de particules grossières comme on en trouve parfois sur certaines plaques diamantées. Du coup, le coté 300 permet de refaire un tranchant rapidement et le coté 1000 de l'affiner suffisamment pour obtenir une bonne qualité de coupe. Avec un petit coup sur cuir et pâte à polir, on arrive à un tranchant de très bonne qualité. Mais il manque un petit quelque chose à cette plaque, c'est 1 cm en largeur. La longueur est satisfaisante, mais 5 cm de largeur c'est un peu trop étroit, ça nuit au confort d'utilisation, même sur des lames d'une dizaine de cm. J'aurais normalement mis 4 étoiles à cause de ce petit manque de confort mais j'en ai mis 5 grâce au service client Amazon. Comme vous pouvez le voir sur les photos, la plaque n'était pas neuve à la livraison. Elle a dû être testée avec un ciseau à bois et retournée par un précédent client. J'ai donc contacté le Service Client pour leur dire que je ne demandais pas de remboursement partiel ou total ni d'échange car je jugeai que ce problème ne diminuait pas les capacités du matériel et que je n'avais pas envie de m'embêter avec des allers-retours. Mais je souhaitais juste faire remonter ce problème car il n'est pas normal que du matériel usagé se retrouve dans les stocks de matériel neuf. A ma grande mais agréable surprise, Amazon m'a remboursé, je le rappelle, sans que je le demande, une partie du prix d'achat. Le SAV étant pour moi aussi important que le matériel acheté, ça méritait la 5ème étoile. Bravo Amazon et merci.

Great sharpening stone for chisels and other small blade items. Can't go wrong with this brand nor supplier
