Product
A precision slipstone sharpening stone designed for honing and refining cutting edges on gouges, chisels, and other shaped tools, measuring 13/3mm in a medium grit grade.
Specifications
- Compact slipstone format with tapered profile measuring 13mm x 3mm, suited for curved and profiled cutting edges
- Medium grit classification provides a balanced cut between material removal and surface refinement
- Shaped geometry allows access to concave surfaces and tight radii that flat stones cannot reach
- Durable abrasive composition maintains consistent cutting performance across repeated use sessions
Usage
Hold the slipstone firmly and apply it to the inner or curved edge of the tool being sharpened. Use controlled strokes along the bevel, maintaining consistent angle and pressure. The tapered profile allows precise contact with concave gouges and shaped blades for accurate edge restoration.
FAQ
- What type of tools is this slipstone designed for? It is primarily used for sharpening gouges, curved chisels, and profiled woodworking or carving tools where a flat stone cannot reach the cutting edge.
- What does the medium grit grade mean in practice? Medium grit removes metal efficiently while still producing a reasonably refined edge, making it suitable for general honing and edge restoration rather than final polishing.
- What are the dimensions of this slipstone? This slipstone measures 13mm x 3mm, with a tapered profile designed to fit curved and narrow tool profiles.
- Should a lubricant be used with this stone? Using a light honing oil or water during sharpening helps float away metal particles, prevents clogging, and extends the working life of the stone.
- How should this slipstone be maintained after use? Clean the surface after each use to remove metal swarf and abrasive residue. Store it in a dry location to prevent contamination or surface degradation.
