Norton Abrasives IM313 Pro Multi-Oilstone Sharpening System c/w 11-1/2" Coarse Crystolon, Medium Crystolon and Fine India Stones, 4-1/2 Ounce Norton Oil, Plastic Angle Guide and Reservoir Uni
Description
The Norton Crystolon and India IM313 11-1/2 inch three-
stone sharpening system includes 100-grit and 150-grit silicon carbide stones
and a 320-grit aluminum oxide stone, a self-contained three-stone bench
sharpening unit with a lid and no-slip rubber feet, a reservoir, an angle
guide, and a 16 oz. bottle of sharpening stone oil for lubrication. In the top
of the bench sharpening unit, a rotating axis holds the stones firmly in
place, protecting them against breakage, and bringing the desired stone into
position for sharpening. The base of the sharpening unit is a reservoir that
allows submersion of the unused stones, keeping them clean and saturated. The
angle guide helps to position a tool correctly for sharpening. The three
stones in this system are used sequentially to restore cutting edges on
straight-edged tools, such as knives, chisels, plane blades, and precision
instruments; the 100-grit silicon carbide stone is suitable for repairing a
cutting edge, while the 150-grit silicon carbide stone is suitable for
sharpening and maintaining the edge, and the 320-grit aluminum oxide stone
produces a honed cutting edge.The sharpening stone oil meets FDA requirements
for use near food, and consists of pharmacopeia-grade mineral oil formulated
with the correct lubricity for oilstone sharpening. It prevents metal from
bonding with the abrasive surface by flushing away dislodged abrasive and
metal chips. Each stone is also prefilled with oil to save time and eliminate
the need to presoak it prior to use. The silicon carbide stones are fast-
cutting and offer effective sharpening, even under light pressure. The
aluminum oxide stone has a tough fracture- and wear-resistant grit that is
more durable than silicon carbide and capable of sharpening to very close
tolerances.Each stone is created by grading the material to a consistent
particle size and blending it with bonding agents. It is then molded and
surface-finished. These unusually large 1/2 x 11-1/2 x 2-1/2 inch (H x W x D)
oilstones, which are suitable for bench use, are harder and more durable than
a waterstone. (H is height, the vertical distance from lowest to highest
point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the
horizontal distance from front to back.) They conform to the American National
Standards Institute (ANSI) abrasive grit standard.Sharpening stones, or
whetstones, are abrasive surfaces used to sharpen and hone the edges of steel
cutting implements, such as chisels, knives, scissors, hand scrapers, and
plane blades. Sharpening is the process of creating or re-establishing a
cutting edge by grinding away portions of the metal to adjust the angle of the
edge and reform the shape. Honing removes small imperfections. Stones can be
flat, for working flat edges, or shaped, for edges that are more complex.
Sharpening stones are made of natural or synthetic materials that range from
softer to harder, and are categorized by the size of their abrasive particles,
known as grit. A stone with a coarser grit is used when more metal needs to be
removed (e.g., when sharpening a nicked or very dull blade); the stone with
the finest grit produces the sharpest edge. Where numbers are assigned to
specify grit, they range from coarser grit (low) to finer grit (high). Some
sharpening stones are designed for use with a lubricating liquid, some can be
used dry, and others can be used either wet or dry. When used with lubricating
liquid, a sharpening stone can be called a waterstone or an oilstone, based on
the lubricant required.Norton Abrasives manufactures sanding, grinding, and
polishing abrasives, and has been located in the United States since 1885.
Norton, now a brand of Saint-Gobain, meets ISO 9000 and 14001 certification
for quality and environmental management standards.What’s in the Box?100-grit
