Free style recessed design MPOWER’s non-linear Freestyle Recess design ensures that there is always an intersecting evacuation channel no matter which way the blade is positioned or moved on the surface. Lapping fluid suspends the sharpening debris and flows through the channels helping to reduce clogging or pasting of the diamond plate, which prolongs the period of sharpening and maintains abrasion rates. Pressure bonding manufacture The two plates are pressure bonded to the core using an oil and solvent resistant 3M adhesive. The result, a diamond stone offering the performance and flatness of the highest standard. This allows MPOWER to confidently back it with a 3 year “no quibble guarantee” that can be increased to 10 years guarantee through registration of the tool on the MPOWER website. 10 year stone guarantee MPOWER’s new Diamond Bench-Stone Kits are now so tough they’re covered by a “no quibble” 10 Year Guarantee - double the industry standard. Even if the damage is down to years and years of regular sharpening, MPOWER will supply you with a FREE replacement. The history of MPOWER’s 8” double-sided stones Launched over 7 years ago, MPOWER’s unique hybrid laminate manufacturing process has stood the test of time. Since MPOWER have improved many aspects of the 8” bench stone. Not least with the development of “Rust Free” Aluminium cores. Aluminium extrusion has proven to be a super consistent material that supersedes the accuracy that could be reliable achieved by machining tool steel as a core. It also has the added advantage of being 100% rust free. The core is anodized which again is a superior hard-wearing finish. Tougher than that of either black oxide or nickel plating, anodizing provides an incredibly flat finish which allows MPOWER diamond stones to be the flattest stones available. Who is MPOWER? The origins of MPOWER Tools lie in a woodshop, in a derelict barn, in the West Country of England. 25 years later MPOWER continues to design, develop and manufacture innovative tools, exporting to more than 16 countries Worldwide. Polishing waxes Your MPOWER diamond stone comes with its own strop. And to use with your strop MPOWER have created three unique blends of friable Polishing Wax Sticks. Friability is the process whereby the abrasive particulates deliberately breakdown in size to aid the process of polishing. Allowing you to hone the sharpest edge possible. The MPOWER 55g Wax Stick range includes: Orange *1800# grit – for a sharp blade White *2500# grit – for a very sharp blade Blue *5000# grit – for a razor sharp blade They can either be used in conjunction with its corresponding bench stone or used to finish a blade edge honed on any diamond stone new or existing. Regularly rub or load the leather strop with the wax sticks prior to stropping/finishing any blade edge. *Grades stated are approximated. Fully synthetic lapping fluid sample Lubricating your diamond stone can assist its performance. This lapping fluid was developed by MPOWER Tools and comes in a re-usable aluminium fine spray bottle. Our Lapping Fluid is 100% FREE from nitrates, mineral oil, sulphur, chlorine and phenol. Three sizes available separately: 30ml 100ml 250ml What does ‘bedding in’ your stone mean? A brand-new diamond stone produced by any manufacturer will feel very coarse to the touch regardless of the
