Does this kit actually come with the 1000 grit fine Arkansas stone? The Field kit does not, even though it is in the product description.

The third stone is white and feels completely smooth. I requires an oil like lubricant to use. I am pretty sure it is a 1000 grit stone. the stone feels like a piece of marble. Hope this helps.

It depends on how polished you want the tool to be. Obviously 1000 grit is not 8000 so if you want that refinement the answer is no. However, personally I used to use aluminum oxide sand paper on a 3/8" piece of glass to sharpen chisles, plane irons, gouges, etc. finishing at about 320 grit. To me it was good enough for bench chisels and carving tools. At 1000 grit, the diamond stone is way better and it cuts in a fraction of the time. I tend to want to be practical at the quality of a cutting edge and not at the expense of time. I can sharpen a bench chisel in about 5 minutes with the diamond stone. I can't come close to that with water stones. They are too slow for me.

hey delores, i bought this kit and for the money was great... i don't know how large or small you are going with them but the spaces between the grit might be too great if your pieces are quarter size or smaller! i have no doubt it will polish, just don't know your process. any more questions i'll try to answer, mike

No, the "professional" kit has stone. If you really want diamond, they offer those, and the Lansky kits with those include the word "diamond" right in the kit name, so there's no confusion. See the OEM web site at lansky dot com if you want more details on the kits you're looking at. Keep in mind diamond hones work faster (cut quicker), and on most knives it's VERY easy to take a lot of metal off too quickly with them, especially if you're not very practiced at it and take a few passes on the job. If you're an expert, or you're sharpening needs are more for things like axe heads with damaged edges that actually need some filing to dress them before you start sharpening, maybe diamond is worth the price increase for you, but it's still not required. For me, their "professional" system covered all utility uses I had for it, works quickly enough without taking more off metal faster than I wanted, and if you're worried about longevity, don't be for any type of personal use levels. If you sharpen the typical set of your kitchen, pocket, and hunting / fishing knives a few times a year, you're kids will probably inherit those same stones down the road, they really don't wear out very quickly in normal use.

I didn't notice any. I would estimate 400-600 grit. It is good for knives that are in fair sharpness. For really dull knives you would need to start with a more coarse grit. It is a good stone.

I have no experience with working with rocks or garden stones, so my answer is based on what I know about the Dremel Stylus. This tool is certainly very amendable to a variety of craft projects, and I use it for polishing Premo or Sculpley clay. I have found during long bouts of sanding, smoothing and polishing, the Stylus overheats, and shuts off automatically to prevent the motor from burning out. So, if that's happening in my small scale usage, I think it will happen even more often for you and leave you feeling frustrated. If the return policy on the purchase allows you to return within 30 - 90 days and you're willing to give it a whirl, then buy it. It is very lightweight, affordable and versatile. I love mine and love finding new uses for it every day. I hope my response helps you. P.S. Contact Dremel's Customer Service and see what they have to say! Good luck to you!

No the blade doesn't come with the kit! But you can purchase it separately for 29.00 or 79.63 for the kit and two blades. The blades are a two pack 8" renegade carbon steel. Hope this helps!

Hello Tammy, I had to buy the grit separate. I'm not sure of the cost because when this order was place, there were several dozen other items bought for the business and all my receipts are give to my accountant. I think the price was $29 for the kit. It contained: Coarse, Medium, Pre-polish and polish grits.

I'm not sure of the numbers but you would definitely want a finer grit to finish off your blade. That probably doesn't help you at all though LOL. I went ahead and bought a better stone. You can find it here if you're interested Norton 614636855653 IB8 1-by-2-by-8-Inch Fine/Coarse India Combination Bench stone

I had a professional to do it and there was no problem but it was not applied to slate. It was flag stone and field stone.

Big shot come with the multi purpose platform and the machine, that's it. The one with the kit has that and Also includes 1 Bigz Die, 2 Sizzlits Dies, 1 Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, a Framelits set, 10 solid yardstick samples and an instruction booklet. They never specify which dies, I assume its what the have the most of on hand.

It does have grit. you can check on the description above. this stone is 1200 grit. i would recommend you to buy Japanese stone; the surface is more even.

I didn't know what you were talking about until I pulled it up on Amazon. My grandson is here and so I asked him about it. Akuna did not come with his Jagger. But we got to looking and if you will look at the views down the side of Jagger, some will have the Akuna and some won't but yet the price doesn't change. Not sure if I am making any sense with this or not. My grandson still loves his Jagger.

It does not indicate on packaging what the grit might be or the grinding stone composition. However, it appears to be A super fine grit and is man made. I have been using it with great satisfaction for sewing scissors, both industrial and regular home scissors.

In my experience, the serrated stone on this kit is almost useless. Serrations aren't usually triangular anyway. I would suggest using the hand sharpener carefully on the serrations.
