DMT Diamond Stone Cleaning Kit

Clean Diamond Stones Sharpen Fast Diamond stones are a favorite with sharpeners because they are among the fastest and easiest to use stones available. To keep them sharpening at their fastest, it's important to keep them clean, and keeping them clean has never been easier than with the DMT Diamond Stone Cleaning Kit. Waste material from sharpening, called swarf, can build up on the surface of the stone, and become compacted between the diamonds making the stone work less efficiently. Maintaining your stones with the DMT Diamond Stone Cleaning Kit will keep them swarf-free for peak performance. Eraser for Light Cleaning Light build up of swarf can quickly be cleaned using the included eraser. Just rub the eraser over the stone surface and watch as it removes metals particles just like erasing pencil marks from paper. Rinse and dry the stone after and you're all set. Stainless Steel Brush for Heavier Cleaning Sometimes the build up on a stone can be a little heavier and more stubborn. This is especially true if you use your diamond stones for flattening water stones. In these cases, the stainless steel wire brush comes into play.  Using plenty of water, ideally under a flowing tap, scrub the diamond stone out using the wire brush. Just like brushing your teeth removes unwanted particles, brushing your stones will remove the waste to keep the stone cutting freely. Rinse and dry when you're finished. Drying Cloth and Storage Bag The DMT Diamond Stone Cleaning Kit comes with a handy drying cloth. Perfect for drying your stone after cleaning. Also great for drying your knife or tool after sharpening with water. And to keep it all safely contained when not in use, a handy storage bag with drawstring close is also included.
