Diamond Whetstones

Compared to oil and water stones, diamond whet stones are the best quality sharpening stone on the market. They deliver very fast blade and tool edge sharpening over the entire stone surface, and are more likely to remain flat than other types of stones.
While they are initially more expensive, they will also last the longest, so the long-term cost will be lower than other stones.

KGS Diamond Flexis whetstones are a precision diamond sharpening tool with metal bonded diamonds.
Well suited for very fast sharpening or deburring any hard or brittle material.
KGS Diamond sharpening stones work much faster and have an incredible long life! If you use the whetstones on a daily basis and maintain them properly, the diamond will likely last for a few years. For those that use them less frequently, it's likely the stone will last from 10 to 20 years!
Diamond sharpening stones can be used dry or wet, but wet is recommended. When using them wet, use water (not oil).

Instructions for KGS whetstone:
Place KGS whetstone on a flat clean surface to avoid wobbling and shaking.
Try the whetstone on your tool in an inconspicuous spot first.
Initially, the stone may feel very coarse. This is from the manufacturing process and will disappear quickly.
The edge of the blade should be sharpening in the middle of the stone, to prevent scratching the edge.

To Sharpen knives - lay blade flat on stone, then elevate the blade's spine by the thickness of the blade (approx 15°). Rub in a circular motion, alternating sides. Initially, use firm pressure to start an edge, then use lighter pressure. 
As the whet stone wears down, more diamonds will be exposed, so the stone will sharpen faster.
Clean up with a soft brush when dry grinding. If wet grinding, dry first, then clean with a brush.
If you think the stone is worn out, try rubbing a glass object (without breaking it) along the stone's edge. If it cuts a groove, it is not worn out.

Ceramic knives - The Flexis whet stone are adequate on ceramic knives, although it may discolour white knives when grits less than #200 as used. 
The Telum whet stone is about 25% more expensive, but contains more diamond abrasives, and the pattern suits knives better. It will also have a longer life.
Available on special order only.

Dressing stones

Our dressing stones "open up" a diamond blade which have been glazed up as a consequence of cutting hard materials. Depending on the condition (wear) of your diamond blade, it will be necessary to use the dressing stone several times, simply by cutting a few centimeters into it.
Regular use of dressing stones will keep you blade performing at its best.
80 grit, 200mm x 50mm x 25mm Premium Series (Red colour)
(these are a superior, more uniform composition stone and are very effective at sharpening  compared to the Trade series).
$35 each including GST

80 grit, 200mm x 50mm x 25mm Trade series (White colour)
(these are sandier composition than the Premium series, but well priced).
$20 each including GST

To use, ensure you wear eye protection. Cut across the stone in one direction only (not forward and back) to a depth of about half the thickness of the stone (Then the stone can be turned over and the other side used). A few cuts should be sufficient to dress your blade.

To see how to use a dressing stone, see this video (it shows a deglazing a tile saw blade, but the principle is the same).
