Smoothing and Polishing Stones
Maintain tools, 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.
Aluminum–oxide stones abrade slowly to create a consistent surface. Also known as India stones.

Detail Polishing Stones
Smooth ribs, slots, teeth, and other fine features—these stones are thin enough to slip into hard-to-reach areas. Made of bonded ceramic, they’re harder and more wear resistant than aluminum oxide stones, but flexible enough not to crack under pressure. Pair with a holder (sold separately) to polish by hand or with a power tool, such as an ultrasonic polisher. Apply a water-soluble or oil-based lubricant to help keep debris from building up on the surface.
Ceramic/diamond stones have diamond particles spread throughout the ceramic to make them harder and sharper. They won’t wear out as quickly as plain ceramic stones when finishing hardened steel, carbide, and other extremely hard materials.

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.

Detail Polishing Stone Assortments
Keep stones in different grits on hand to smooth ribs, slots, teeth, and other fine features. The stones in these assortments are thin enough to slip into hard-to-reach areas. Made of bonded ceramic, they’re harder and more wear resistant than aluminum oxide stones, but flexible enough not to crack under pressure. Pair these stones with a holder to polish by hand or with a power tool, such as an ultrasonic polisher. Some holders are sold separately. Apply a water-soluble or oil-based lubricant to help keep debris from building up on the surface.
