>I'm not Mr. Lee but I can tell you that I bought one of the Diamond stones a year ago or so. It was a DMT stone. Hope this helps!

I thought they looked... *LINK*

>... like DMT's

I was wondering since Lie-Nielsen now sells DMT stones and they seem to be a little different.

Just wondering if they were the same...

So how do you like that stone?

Thanks!

Another Diamond Stone question

Christopher Fitch @ Memphis

>DMT makes two types of stones from what I have seen:

The Duo-Sharp which has the familiar circle patten and they make the Dia-sharp which is a solid layer of diamonds on a steel plate.

Does anyone have any experience as to which one performs better?

TIA

>I bought the coarsest stone available. It cut fast and was really great while it lasted. It didn't really last long though. I think this is something inherent with diamond stones.

I don't know what you are looking to sharpen with the DMT's. If you were looking to sharpen tools I would rather spend my money on a set of Shapton's. (I say this having never used Shapton's.)

The only reason I would give is the staying power.

>No I was more looking for occasional use for rough removal if I needed to fix a tool edge. Plus I'm just curious...

>the problem is that diamonds are only fast when they are fresh. after that good waterstones or scary sharp is faster and cheaper.

>Hi Christopher...

Just got back from a trip - so am a bit slow replying...

As has been pointed out - our diamond stones are from DMT.
