Nano Hone 100 Micron Diamond Resin Bond Sharpening Plate

This is a medium coarse 100 micron (Orange) Diamond Resin Plate. It will serve you very well for thinning metal behind the edge and restoring chipped and damaged edges.

This is a bio-friendly resin. Both the resin and the pigments are made with FDA approved food safe materials. The binder and pigments are also compostable. Please note that the diamonds will not degrade.

We are using a triangular hole pattern to increase cutting speed and make grooming the surface of the plate more efficient. We recommend our NL-4 lapping plate for this operation. This plate requires very little water for sharpening. In fact, you can use it dry if you like. The resin will take on a very small amount of water as it is slightly hydrophylic. Please let it dry after use before putting it away. 

*Don't store it in Water

*Don't leave it out in the sun

This honeycomb matrix is an original design by Hap Stanley. He makes each one of these stones in his workshop. Hap's resin is much softer than anything else on the market. This allows the surface to be maintained more easily. Typically, diamond resin stones are extremely hard to flatten. Hap has overcome this problem by creating a completely new material. This binder is environmentally friendly, slightly hydrophilic, and very tough. Sharpening can be done completely dry or with a few drops of water. Flattening can be accomplished with our chevron Style lapping plate (NL-4). Remember, when flattening a diamond resin stone, you are not flattening the diamonds in the resin. Rather, you are "Kicking" the diamonds out of the resin. So, you need a very tough lapping plate.

Our 1 micron resin will leave a near mirror polish on the toughest of steels. Watch out  powder metals!! Our 100 micron resin is a thinning machine. All the sizes in between are stepping stones. 

Dimensions are 210 mm x 75 mm with 3 layered of diamond resin material. Overall, the plate is about 7.2mm thick including the machined Nano Hone backing plate. 

Each plate has an individual serial number so we can keep track of the life of the material.
