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.

Quickly sharpen straight-blade tools.
Silicon carbide cuts quickly with light pressure. Also known as Crystolon stones.
For stones that require lubrication, we recommend using a water-soluble or oil-based lubricant..

Two-Grit Sharpening Stones
A different grit on each side enables two-step sharpening with one stone. First sharpen your blade with a lower grit, then sharpen again with a finer (higher) grit until the desired edge is achieved.
Aluminum oxide cuts more slowly than silicon carbide for finer control. Also known as India stones.
