followed to ensure that the stone will give
lasting performance under normal
conditions.

Follow the hints and tips explained here
to help maximise the life of your Diamond
Cross Stone:

All tooling should be cleaned before
sharpening. Resin build-up should be
removed with Resin Cleaner and a wire
brush.

Use with Diamond Abrasive Lapping
Fluid (water can be used if necessary),
this will prevent the diamonds
becoming clogged with swarf.

Diamond Cross Stones require a
'break-in' period. Initially the diamond
will feel coarse and will smooth
overtime.

Do not apply too much pressure.

The diamond is extremely abrasive so
what would normally take 5-10 minutes
on an oilstone may take approximately
20 seconds on the Diamond stone.

Dry the Diamond Cross stone
thoroughly after use. Any wet steel
filings left on the stone will cause
surface rust to form.
