This is good news indeed, as many of us have found how frustrating\nit can be trying to use run-of-the-mill low-cost electric grinders to accurately restore\nthe bevel on edge tools. The sometimes loose manufacturing tolerances found on these machines seem to often result in\nexcessive run-out on the shaft on which the grinding wheels are mounted, inevitably\nleading to unpredictable and unsatisfactory results.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n   The key element in the Dia-Flat's success in flat grinding hard steel blades is DMT's new\nproprietary\n   \u003cb\u003e\n    Hardcoat Technology\n   \u003c\/b\u003e\n   , which bonds the diamond grit to the steel plate,\nresulting in its unprecedented durability. Extensive testing has demonstrated how\nwell these new diamond stones hold up, even under heavy use.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n   At 4-1\/4\" wide by 10\" long and weighing 4 lbs., the Dia-Flat is the most impressive\nlapping\/grinding plate we've seen. Its 40 square inches of surface are covered with over\n30 carats of diamond grit. The precision sized monocrystalline diamond grit is bonded to\nthe steel plate using DMT's Hardcoat Technology giving a uniform scratch pattern and\nunparalleled durability.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n   Each Dia-Flat is hand-certified to flatness of ±0.0005\" across its surface.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n   In addition to reshaping plane irons and chisels, the Dia-Flat can of course also flatten\njust about any sharpening stone in your shop, including oil stones, Arkansas stones, water\nstones  even ceramic stones, and with its extra-large size, its plenty large enough to\nhandle almost any stone in your shop.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch5\u003e\n   95µ Dia-Flat Stone\n  \u003c\/h5\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n   The 95µ (95 microns \/ 160 grit mesh) DIA-FLAT stone is the same as the 120µ version - just finer. When flattening the backs of plane irons and chisels,\n it gives a smoother finish - speeding the process. It's also useful when flattening finer grit waterstones.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n \n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"DMT","offers":[{"title":"120 micron","offer_id":50821835784474,"sku":"141055","price":210.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"95 micron","offer_id":50821835817242,"sku":"141059","price":210.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0904\/5167\/3370\/files\/141055d.jpg?v=1768341554","url":"https:\/\/www.highlandwoodworking.mom\/products\/dmt-dia-flat-lapping-plate","provider":"Highland Woodworking","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
