Review on πŸ”ͺ Bora 501060 Combination Sharpening Woodworking: The Ultimate Tool for Precision and Efficiency by James Eledge

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Decent stone, needs leveling and oiling.

Needed a good grind and a big gulp of oil. If you find your polishing oil disappearing on a faux stone like this, that's because it wasn't soaked at the factory - you should be soaking it. I use mineral oil for soaking and mineral oil diluted with mineral spirits (50/50) for honing oil. Then make a box or holder for it, because it lubricates everything it touches. Keep it covered, because an oil-soaked stone is a magnet for shop dirt that will clog the stone.

Pros
  • whetstones
Cons
  • fragile
