Q&A Why use oil to lubricate? Oil floats the metal shavings and prevents them from clogging the pores of the stone. The stone abrasiveness will be reduced if the pores are clogged with metal shavings. The mix of oil and metal shavings is known as sludge.

Classic Diamond Sharpening Cards
Q&A How do I use a Diamond Sharpening Card? The same sharpening techniques and angles that are used with traditional sharpening stones can be used with the Diamond Sharpening Cards. Please see HuFriedyGroup’s “It’s About Time” sharpening manual/DVD (SDVD) available through your dealer or view the “It’s About Time” sharpening instructional modules on YouTube.com. Diamond Sharpening Cards • A uniform coating of industrial diamonds bonded to high quality stainless steel provides an extremely hard, flat surface for instrument sharpening • Durable surface resists grooving and ditching; remains flat after repeated use and will not break or shatter if dropped • Easy clean-up via ultrasonic cleaner and steam sterilization • No oil lubrication needed for sharpening procedures • Thin credit-card size shape allows sharpening cards to readily fit into sterilization pouches or cassettes with procedural set-ups
