Cleaning and care of a DMT
®
stone is simple and necessary for best performance. After using a DMT Diamond
Bench Stone or Sharpener simply wet it (if it is not already lubricated with water) and wipe the slurry off with a
rag. This slurry is evidence that the sharpener has done its job. If the swarf is not wiped off the sharpener after
use it may clog up the diamond and not allow it to sharpen as well as it could were it clean.
Also, once in a while it is a good idea to get a common cleanser and scrub the sharpener with a nylon brush or
nylon pad. This will ensure the sharpener is not clogged with slurry and will allow for optimal sharpening. Finally,
make sure you store your sharpeners dry after you clean them off.
