Atoma Small Diamond Plate #140 (with Handle)

$79.00

 

*This is a smaller version of the full-sized ATOMA lapping plate, and are most compatible with small stones such as these Yamato stones.

Tosho's #1 sharpening tip: keep your stones flat. Not enough sharpeners flatten their stones often enough, resulting in many inconsistencies and poor edges. As a budding sharpener, investing in a good lapping plate early ensures that you are improving your sharpening technique, rather than troubleshooting around dished/untrue sharpening surfaces.

And we do not recommend those inexpensive pink or black flattening stones to do this for those who are wondering. They are inexpensive for a very good reason. Instead, we recommend diamond lapping plates that are a bit more expensive, but offer far better longevity, precision and speed. 

ATOMA Lapping Diamond Plate is not a stone, but a diamond abrasive sheet fixed on a flat nickel/aluminum plate. The diamond abrasive used on ATOMA means that you can use this plate on almost all types of stones (except for diamond stones). The handle attachment allows you to have much better grip during usage than ones without. 

#140 is best for speedy flattening, and for stones below #2000, and #400 is recommended for achieving fine stone surfaces and for stones above #2000.


We highly recommend this plate to any sharpener who is looking to get consistent results, and is willing to invest in a tool that will noy only last for years, but also contribute in improving his/her skill.
