What is the grit of the diamond plates?

Not sure what the exact grits are but there is a coarse and a fine and the ceramic steel rotates to the same also and for fish hooks also the plates remove to clean and under is a broadhead tightened it's a great handy tool to have in the field hands down

There is course and fine but grit is not stated on package. I have used on beat up chipped blades 813cmov (soft metal) with course then fine , ceramic rod and finished with strop. It works great. It works best with 5" and smaller because its 6" or so long.

the coarser grit is 350, the fine is 800. didn't measure directly, but compared with other diamond flat stones by feel

Not really. The grit of diamond dust is not as fine as eluded too. Had a feeling you were after bead reaming.

I just checked and think they are 120 grit. I purchased 100 grit replacement sleeves for the larger spindles. Machine works great.

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.

The stone is 'Fine'. 600 grit is very coarse. The description is probably a typo...I keep my stone at work as I always carry a Buck Knife with me and find it handy if I need a quick sharpening. Make sure you use honing oil.

Hi, I lap every type of natural and synthetic hone that there is daily. I am not sure if this is a 95 or a 120 grit but I can say, "do not go any coarser" than this plate for lapping. If this plate is 120 grit and you go to a 95 grit you are going to have problems and you will need to wet sand your stones to 200-400 grit after using it. Good luck.

More of a honing steel. No diamonds. It's hard, and puts a fine edge on a blade, though.

No, the 1000 grit side is full diamond grit, only the 300 grit side has the clearing channels.You're not really removing much material with the 1000 grit so I've found it to be okay.Use lapping fluid (I use windex window cleaner) and keep it clean.

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. It depends on how polished you want the tool to be.

It is a sharping steel, but I have no idea what numbers are for hardness? It is not diamond coated.

If by that you mean a metal rod coated with diamond grit, I don't know if there is necessarily an advantage except maybe for longevity. The rod is coated. The ceramic is ceramic all the way through. I've yet to wear out a diamond rod but I've only owned one for a year. The lasky ceramic is very very good BTW.

I have no idea. I got sick of looking for it on the shelves so I just order it and eventually use all the grit offered in the pack.

No. It is a steel plate impregnated with diamond. In fact you can use this to flatten your water stones if you desire a finish higher than 1000 grit.

Oh yeah, any stone works. The diamonds are really really hard...go wet, much better overall.

There is no indication of the Grit value in the documentation, or on the packaging.

The sharpening disks for the 130 are different. For the 130: 100% diamond stage in stage 1; super hardened miniature steel in stage 2; and flexible stropping disks in stage 3.The disks are different on the 120. The grit is diamond for stages 1 and 2, and a "patented" material for disk 3. It's great for thin kitchen knives. I have the 120.
