can I expect mine to wear out over the years? Is it better to use it with water? Also is the coarse diamond stone a good pick to flatten my other whetstones? sorry for spamming questions. thank you in advance :)
Polish after?
This is not the dmt video I was looking for
Wrong DMT
wait a minute...
This was exactly the content I was looking for - thank you!
Awesome! I've had this for years but never thought of elevating it that way. Going to try that tonight.
The box said this link led to a demo. I don’t see a demo.
Is better use this wet or dry?
This is not the DMT cleaning video I was looking for...
Hello, could we use WD40, i trid it, and it was perfect to clean the dmt bench? Thanks
I find that the angle guide produces an uneven apex on the blade. I’ve upgraded to a TSProf Kadet and now my results are phenomenal. I’ll keep the DMT plates for freehand touch ups in the field.
Yah India ke andar Kahan milega
I was told by a women from DMT to use comet and a nylon brush or a toothbrush; not a wire brush.
I use my DMT stones in my Worksharp Elite with a stone holder. It works like a charm.
If you take care of your stones properly, all you need is some water and a toothbrush to keep it clean. If you have to take a wire brush to it, you need to question your technique or do regular cleaning. There is no reason it should get caked up to that point. Unless you just have money to throw away. I can't believe a company rep actually suggested using a paper towel to clean with. That is a horrible idea and only serves to further clog the stone. If plain water doesn't work, a toothbrush or similar is all you need. The eraser is also a bad idea unless you are cleaning a ceramic stone or stick.
Thanks 🎉❤
Would you all recommend using a DMT for sharpening garden tools as opposed to knives?
Agreed... This is not a demo!
can cut paper but how about cutting plastic or cloth ????
dear dmt. please answer the awesome questions from Larry. also maybe more videos on this. thanks and salutations from Lost Angeles CA!
thank you from the year 2023
Seems if you push and pull the gouge the perfect radius will be in the middle and you will be rubbing the edge back and forth between too flat a radius and too tight. Can you put the gouge on the exact right radius and twist it clockwise and ccw? For compound curve hook tools what sharpening product/s do you recommend?
I have a 95 MICRON Dia-Flat Lapping Plate. After flattening 3 stones ( Norton India stone, Norton soft Arkansa stone, and Makita 1200 water stone) on both sides, under running water, I notice that the Dia-Flat Lapping Plate is rougher on the ends compared to the middle section. I guess I did not run the stones right off the ends of the Dia-Flat Lapping Plate. The instructions said that roughness would decline with usage, so I am not concerned about that, but when I place a straight edge across the Dia-Flat Lapping Plate, I can see light in the middle because the rough ends are higher, having not yet been worn down. So my concern is that the when flattening another stone, I do not have a flat Dia-Flat Lapping Plate and therefore will not get a flat stone. I am thinking of placing a piece of wet/dry 320 grit paper on a precision granite block and rubbing the Dia-Flat Lapping Plate on the grit paper, with water, to bring the Dia-Flat Lapping Plate high rough points down even with the middle area. What do you think of that ? Is there a better way ?
Did you find a solution for flattening the diasharp?
@@vincentjames1995 I gave up on the DMT Dia-Flat Lapping Plate. Found I could get stones flatter with wet-dry sandpaper ( 180 to 220 grit ) on granite block ( HHIP 4401-0011 ) than with a DMT Dia-Flat Lapping Plate. I had considered the paper on granite method to be inferior to a diamond plate with certified flattens spec of 0.0005" . Then I got a straight edge and discovered I could do much better with sandpaper. Maybe my technique on diamond plate was not good. The nice thing with sandpaper is the the stone never has to go off the edge of sandpaper so perhaps this makes technique is not so important with sandpaper. Spray water on both sides of wet-dry sandpaper The wet dry paper can be rinsed off and hung to dry for another use. Picked up an economical straight edge, Kinex 1061-05-300. Hardened stainless steel with a knife edge. It is a quick way to check stone flatness by viewing with a light behind. Previously I was using the standard method of pencil lines on stone and flattening until they disappear. Benefit of checking with a straight edge is that it is more accurate and I can see when stones need flattening, so am not flattening them as often.
Where can I get one of the diamonds. Crystal shavers?
Quatsch Bzdura
Thank you so much!! I am getting ready to order!
This will help, but it won't cut paper anymore. Too much micro chipping at that grit level.
There is no way a person is able to maintain an angle to the accuracy of a half degree simply by eye-balling. This is really not helpful.
The 22.5 degree angle is just half of a 45, its pretty easy to visualize and execute imo
worthless garbage. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY.
DO NOT buy this worthless junk. i bought three of them and none of them cut. buy natural stones only.
do not buy diamond plates. they do not work. i bought three and NONE of them cut.
I bought THREE of the DMT stones, including the lapping plate. NONE of them cut beyond day one. DO NOT buy this worthless junk. what’s the statistical probability of THREE of them being defective? you wasted my time, my money, and i WILL NEVER stop telling people that this stuff is junk. for the record, these worthless stones caused me untold hours of frustration when i started woodworking, i thought i was doing something wrong, i kept at it because i knew no better. it felt like i’d never accomplish anything, i gave up for years. someone gave me a natural stone and it worked perfectly. it wasn’t me, it was your garbage product. i hate you and hope your business fails and you starve to death.
This video was exactly what I saw looking for as a solution for my chipped crystal glasses! Just purchased the tool, thank you!
Man i love the diamond tool, you handling that ripe squash, the ready for what ever back ground, your explanation and thoughtfulness but i played this in my car that has 5000 watts of subwoofers connected and they did not appreciate the sound quality one bit. If youre reading this and are a bass head, pray to the Supreme woofer energy ball way down low thay the subs survived and if you can play yours in remembrance, just not this video. Bass loves you.
it was the wrong dmt I was expecting then.....................
Good try, but a 3 notch fixed adjustment will work with only stone you sell with specific thickness, not with other stones with different sickness.
When sharpening the scissors or the Knife Blades do you press Hard or medium or just let the DMT sharpener glide over it gentle?
You have the best sharpening equipment! I use your stones on my 12” chef’s knife for carving briskets paper thin 💪👌
It can work on cell phones to yes please text me call.me Michael
How do you clean the stone, what do you use?
Water
Any degreaser and a nylon brush to clean out the buildup. I use a blob of fast orange hand cleaner, but pretty much anything works.
How many pesos do i use
Truly lousy instructions. You need to go step by step. The Adjustable Guide Rods have notches for the different angles but where do the notches index? You start with the Rods already in place for 20 degrees. You should start with them loose and carefully show them installed and what lines up with what. The written instructions that come with the kit about tightening and backing off pressure really are maddening.
hey Tico, have you figured this thing out yet? I've been thinking of buying one but still undecided. Thanx
@@kurtglo I gave up on it.
@@ticovogt that answers my question, thanks so much!

Excellent training. Everybody else makes it seem impossible. Not you. Thanks.
What is a polymer eraser ? Never heard this term before.
The kind you use to erase pencil marks. The regular erasers.
A good student never makes mistakes 😂
Does DMT sell double sided diamond stones With different grits ?
Yes they offer one that is course on one side, fine on the other. Woodcraft sells them.
I thought that work for melting the limits of my reality
Id like to see an updated video on this as well as a sharpness test to see how sharp it is on the sharpness scale. For all we know you could be dulling the blade or making it a fraction better. Results. :)
Ha!
I have a red one I would like to know if it's good for straight razors?
No the red is a 600 grit. You need to hit the 1200 green and then at least a 3000 to 8000 grit, plus a strop. In essence the 600 would be 5 to 10 x's less the sharpening power a cut throat blade would need for a proper edge.
