Fast-Cutting Smoothing Stones

Also known as Crystolon stones, these abrade quickly to create a smooth or extra-smooth finish on molds and dies. These stones can be used by hand or in power tools with a compatible holder. Choose the shape that best matches the contour of your work surface. We recommend using a water-soluble or oil-based lubricant with stones that are not oil filled.
