Thread: Diamond Stones

I have been using a diamond stone for 12 months and never lubricated it. If you use water it will rust and Oil will clog. I just give it a brush with a wire brush and that is all it takes. It is also great for touching up router bits. use on the flat inside face only. I mount the stone in the vise and rub the bit up and down.
