Has anyone tried them on stone? Wanting to make story stones for my son.

Yes. Stone is specifically noted by the manufacturer as a surface these will work on. I just made a garden plant marker by writing on a large, flat pebble.

I do not use a peel.. But stones fit well together and do not see that to be a problem for you.... They are very nice .. Very impressed with them.

You should be fine doing that but I'd cut down the run times. The glass will wear down quick compared to the stones people are tumbling. Might only start with the fine grit as well.

I use the pink stones for sharpening knives and tools. The operators manual says they are either aluminum oxide grinding stones or silicon carbide grinding stones, the second of which is said to be good for grinding and shaping very hard materials such as glass. As for my personal experience with it on glass, it does work but not for anything needing deep engraving or fine lines or for any precision. I recomend getting a set of diamond encrusted engraving bits I got like a set of 20 for like five bucks and they are good for almost anything and if I remember correctly this comes with at least one of those. Hope this helps

I am pretty sure they are 4mm. I just use the flat tip on my wand and it works on all sizes of stones. Current project has 3 different sizes.

I have two these and they both have worked fine for me I use water stones and a strop to sharpen them and I have had no trouble so far

Water, don't listen to bambulr he has no idea obviously, if you use them dry they will wast away to nothing in just a few uses and you will never take advantage of how sharp they will make your knives, the water creates a slurry with the stone powder your scrape off, creating a very fine sharpening medium, learn up on how to use a waterstone. These stones are a great beginners kit at a great price, get them, also get a mount so you can use them in the sink. I also got a cheap diamond plate, I use this first to de-burr and take any nicks out, then use the water stones to fine finish.

Not a dumb question..... the sticks are hardened already...picture a coffee "stirring" straw. I sliced them with a razor blade then used nail glue to apply. They are really fun and you may need a magnifying glass to see the designs. Enjoy!!!

Yes, these stones are the best I've purchased for the size, I've ordered large stones from a different company but they were really medium in size and weren't as smooth as these. My stones were very smooth perfect for my hands the 2 xl stones are great for a larger person ...i use them on my athletes. My clients have loved them. No complaints. I will be ordering more soon.Lynn

I also thought they came with stones as a bonus but could be how the picture shows the pencil. So no I didn't get anything but the 2 unsharpened pencils. Once sharpened with a basic pencil sharpener, I am hooked. They work AWESOME! LOVE THEM!

I believe they would stick on plastic forks. They can be cut between the stones to fit what you need. Hope this helps.

Titebond would not be my first choice for gluing stone. I don't know what you could use on stone, but I do now that Titebond isn't it.

Well I bought these for my son some time ago and he does WOW and StarWars and he really like them till he broke them He said they worked really good. I personally never used them but he seemed happy with them.

Ultra Fine did it for me. You can also strop after Ultra for an even finer edge! BTW go very easily w/ the Ultra Fine stones. It does not require many passes per side and with very light pressure.

I don't like the corundum stones,so I only use the basalt/magnesite stones available in selected samap and schnitzer mills-I have hand stonemills from both so I get a workout grinding flour!

No! Do NOT use oil with this type of stone! You will ruin it. They are designed to be used with water. Just, soak the stone, for a few minutes, in clean water and then add a sprinkle of water every few strokes as you are sharpening to wash the swarf from the surface of the stone. I noticed the sharpening oil advertised with this, and it is misleading. I use these stones with my hand planes and chisels, etc for woodworking and you cannot get a better edge than with a water stone. You can quite literally get a mirror finish if you go to 6000 grit or finer. The only drawback is the stones need to be flattened occasionally. No! Do NOT use oil with this type of stone!
