Is it 2 sided or 1 sided? Can it use to sharpen blades also?

The DIA-Flat is one sided only and is excellent. DMT makes a double sided plate with different grits. It is available in grits up to 8000, which is very fine for a polished finish on plane or chisel blades.

One sided, use it re-profile bevel angles, lap back of new blades as well as flatting water stones. Lasts forever.

One sided. I suppose it could sharpen blades, but the wear of sharpening could destroy the "flat" surface needed

1 sided. can use to sharpen blades, but mostly for shaping. grit is coarse.

Hi, it's one sided and it's not used for sharpening blades. Main is to keep the sharpening stone flat

It is one sided. It serves the purpose for flattening water stones perfectly. I would not use it to sharpen your knives - that's what your stones are for. If your knife happens to be made with a high-carbon content and is hardened, it could graduarlly wear away the diamond surface.

Jerome, The miter 1000/HD can be used on either side of the blade. It comes set up for the left side, but instructions detail how to convert it for use on the right side of the blade.

purchased one recently that came with two-sided cutters. Works great so far. Have not used it much yet, but I ran hard maple, ash and rosewood through it with good results.

it's both side. At least from our experience those diamond powders on disc stay very very well, very durable by this price.Just one, careful, it's thin blade disc, you cannot push too hard on vertical direction when you cut. keep cut straigt then you can use very long more than you expected.

doesn't this thing have TWO blades? the photo shows it peeling carrots and only one side of the blade is serrated - so is the other side dull or have a cutting surface too?

Its double sided so you can use it as a single speed or fixed. Its a great purchase.... I've been more than satisfied.

According to the manual, side 1 does the initial intense sharpening and side 2 is a more refined finishing. It definitely makes less noise/grinding on the side 2. You actually use all 4 slots several times for each knife. It only takes a minute or so. I've really been happy with the results. My knives were horrible! (I use Santoku type knives) and now i can cut even the softest tomato with ease and no squishing. A friend recommended this model and I'm so glad she did!

It has one blade (2-sided). It would be fine to puree for baby food. No attachments.

The blades are 2 sided. One side is dark (it's pointed up toward the ceiling now and I can't give an accurate color description) and one is light (I would call it a light oak color)

This sharpener seems to work on both sides of the blade evenly, for a knife that's works well, but I don't think most scissors work that way. So, maybe not completely ideal for scissors.

Hi Fred, it is one sided and strong enough to cut potato, carrots, and any other vegetables without being sharp to cut little fingers. We use them with children 3 to 5 yrs old at our daycare for making vegetable soup. See Bella Luna blog for ideas. Hope this is helpful!

Sharpened on both sides. Best if you get the smith pocket pal sharpener to go with the knife. Keeps a great edge on the blade,

It is a double-sided cutting edge and I have used it to slice through 1/4" limbs! It's an awesome tool and became my favorite gas-powered device after using it for 2 minutes.

Just 3 blades. I was surprised. The sharpener is a better deal because it has two blades.

Yes it i is a multi-purpose sharpener - comes with instructions to sharpen various tools including knives, scissors, lawn mower blades, axes....

It is two sided. You cut potatoes just like you would with a knife. Make sure you dry it good. Don't let the dishwasher dry it. It has a tendency to rust a little. Does cut zucchini wonderfully.
