DiaSharp diamond plate

Common characteristics:
- Surface: continuous diamond pattern, without alveoli
- Diamonds: single crystal
- Uses: hand tools, knives, straightening scissor blades, plane irons and soles
- Feet: non-slip rubberized
- Origin: DMT (diamond machining technology), United States

! Important !
Diamond stones must be kept constantly wet with water during use.

Variants:
° 152mm
Length: 152mm
Width: 51mm
Thickness: 6mm
Grit: Fine, sharpening and finishing

° 203mm
Length: 203mm
Width: 76mm
Thickness: 10mm
Grains:
- Very large: high material removal
- Medium: standard sharpening
- Finishing: sharpening the edge
- Extra fine: finishing and polishing

Very coarse grain (203 mm): quickly remove material or repair heavily blunted edges.
Medium grit (203 mm): standard sharpening of cutting tools.
Fine grain (152 mm or 203 mm): regular sharpening and preparation for finishing.
Extra fine grain (203 mm): refining and polishing of the edges for a smooth and clean cut.

These stones are particularly suitable for the maintenance of hand tools (wood chisels, knives, razors, scrapers), plane irons, as well as small machine tools requiring quick sharpening without deterioration of flatness.

Instructions for use:
- Lightly wet the plate with water before and during use to facilitate sliding and prevent the steel from overheating.
- Make regular and controlled passes to ensure even abrasion across the entire width.
- Start with a coarser grit if the tool is very dull, then gradually move to finer grits to obtain a smooth cutting edge.
- Clean and dry the plate after use to prevent the accumulation of metallic particles.

The DiaSharp diamond plates offered by Gaignard Millon are industrial-grade, single-crystal diamond sharpening stones manufactured by DMT (Diamond Machining Technology), a leader in diamond abrasives. These stones are designed for maintaining cutting tools and for preparing or straightening metal surfaces before finer sharpening.

DMT technology guarantees effective abrasion even on hard steels (HSS high-speed steel, tungsten carbide, hardened carbon steel) with minimal surface wear. The diamond surface is flat and rigid, ensuring uniform contact with the blade or cutting edge being worked.

The stones come with non-slip rubber feet that ensure good stability on a workbench or any flat surface. As with all diamond stones, it is recommended to lightly dampen them with water during use to facilitate blade glide and prevent unnecessary overheating.
