Clog-Resistant Polishing Stones for Steel
No need to stop and clean these stones as you polish—they’re filled with oil to keep debris from getting stuck in the pores. Use a holder to polish by hand or with a power tool (both sold separately). You’ll also need a water-soluble or oil-based lubricant to wash away debris and reduce friction and heat on your workpiece.
Aluminum oxide stones, also known as India stones, scrape away material slowly to give you more control over how much material you take off. They are good for the final stage of polishing.
Silicon carbide stones, also known as Crystolon stones, are extremely sharp. These stones remove material more quickly than aluminum oxide stones. They are best for the early polishing stage when you want to clear away more material from your work surface. However, they give you less control over material removal than aluminum oxide stones, so stopping at an exact point is more difficult to do.

Polishing Stones for Steel
Just the right hardness level for polishing steel tools, molds, and dies. These stones also double as a good choice for general polishing. Choose the stone shape that best matches the contour of your work surface. These stones can be used by hand or in a power tool with a holder (both sold separately). To keep debris from building up, apply a water-soluble or oil-based lubricant during use.
Aluminum oxide stones, also known as India stones, scrape away material slowly to give you more control over how much material you take off. They are good for the final stage of polishing.
Silicon carbide stones, also known as Crystolon stones, are extremely sharp. These stones remove material more quickly than aluminum oxide 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.

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.
