Diamond File Basics

Summary: I've been sharpening things for a long time and diamond sharpening has become really popular thanks to the leading manufacturer of diamond sharpening tools, Diamond Machine Tool (DMT). I have many DMT products so I will be comparing them as well as other diamond sharpening tools I have had over the years. is industry leader. When I evaluate another diamond based tool I compare it to DMT. Recommendations: Diamond-based sharpening works by letting the diamonds do the cutting work; However, the diamonds adhere to the underlying surface. So if you press too hard you will end up knocking the diamonds off the surface and end up with a useless cutting tool. Release the pressure and let the diamonds do all the cutting work. Pros: Decent fit and finish; Low cost proposal. Cons: Does not include a storage case, which is essential for any cutting tool. Conclusion: 3 stars for $12 (low price). I will update this review once I have more time to use it for projects. You can't go wrong with quality tools, especially when it comes to cutting tools like files. .amazon.com/DMT-D2K-Dia-Sharp-Diamond-Mini-Hone/dp/B000S5SD9MDMT FSKF DiaFold File, Fine, 4" $24https://www.amazon.com/Diamond-Machine-Technology-DMT - DMTFSKF-BRK/dp/B00004WFTZ
