Cheap Trend diamond stones

Thanks for the heads up, 2 oedered

Cheers OP. Just ordered one. Be rude not to at a fiver.

The other side is fine diamond. It's marred by the adhesive marks down the sides where it's been stuck in, but it's usable.

How did you remove it from its holder?

Put a dowel or something through from the underside and give it a whack.

Cheers op. Prised mine out with a knife.

Ordered, thank you.

What are people using these for? Are they being used in conjunction with finer stones? I've never used diamond stones so I don't know much about them.

Imagine a low grade wet n dry paper that lasts longer. First grind kinda thing. Innovates have been prising the 'stone' off and there's a finer grade underneath.
If you look on the site theres a 'bench stone' option. same thing but its 5 stones for £20 instead.

What grade does anyone with one to hand think the two sides are? RM have taken mine hostage at the 'open 12:00-12:05 on the fifth Friday of the month' sorting office.

Watch out though, mine arrived today and the coarse side isn't flat - quite domed in fact - so not much good for flattening chisels and such as I discovered. Strangely the fine side (which wasn't supposed to be available until prised out of the holder) does appear to be flat. It will still prove useful, and for a fiver you can't expect much!

 

[monkeybiter]

After reading the last post I checked the two I've just recieved - against each other - no daylight, so either one or both are concave or they're flat as a pancake

 

[Monkey Mark]

Looking at their website. They have a double sided that looks identical for £50. I would guess that these are one and the same, but perhaps an error resulted in a batch being glued into the holder. Cheaper to sell off than remedy. Come Monday, stock permitting, I'll be buying one too.

Thanks for the heads up op.

Having received mine and duly thumped the base off to get to the fine side I found this:

The diamond bit delaminated from the plastic base which clearly shows the word DIASHARP.

I thought DiaSharp was DMT's brand? Am i missing something?

I'm going to get the other side off the base and then epoxy them both to a flat piece of MFC. I'll let you know how it goes.

 

[matt_southward]

Interesting. I've just ordered another - so if I get a flat coarse and flat fine, I'm a winner! They're quite a handy size for portability and the holders are actually quite good. I'm not sure on their longevity, but if they are in fact DMT stones they should last OK. All in all, thanks for the heads up OP

 

[skipdiver]

Mine has just arrived. Not bad going that as i ordered it yesterday.

 

[Monkey Mark]

Ordered two. At 90% off retail it would be rude not to.
