"See other items" on that page will show bearing guided 1/4" shank TCT cove cutters for £3 inc p&p.

Mine were very slightly concave along their length, doesn't bother me but might upset flatnazis.

Surprisingly un argumentative thread for "Godwin's Law"

.... Take the plastic lid off, drop it on the workshop floor ...

From what height ? and what type of floor do you recommend ? do you think the kitchen floor might work ? :lol:

Our kitchen floor has ceramic tiles and it worked well on those. NB I did make sure it was at 30 degrees. :lol:

Thanks for the post. A bargain - although mine arrived with the diamond starting to delaminate from the substrate .

I've also bought one.

Didn't need one.....but got one anyway as its a damn good deal

Ive never had a diamond stone before, but I understand it's perfectly normal that this happens when you first use them.

Can someone confirm?

Delaminate? No, the first few uses will 'run in' the stone so to speak and take off loose particles but there shouldn't be much else coming off the plate.

Bought the five off deal, can't beat it for the price, easy to remove to get to the smooth size, brilliant observation that this existed. Don't actually need them......but they will come in handy for something!

Cheers, I bought two.

Should oil be used with these?

 

[deema]

Just water, or dry.

I bought one of these 'stones' a few years ago, although it wasn't branded as being by Trend. I'm pretty sure it's made in the same place. I have many different types of stone but I primarily use the diamond for sharpening card scrapers. I just hold the scraper vertically and any back/forth strokes aren't going to groove the stone. Of course it's perfectly good for chisels and plane blades too. I found WD40 or any thin oil leaves the actual plate clean. With water it quickly starts to develop rusty deposits or marks.

Use either water or dry

Maybe because some of us bought six 8-[
