Diamond hone

Postby Woodster » 04 May 2017, 14:01

These have been suggested as a handy tool for removing the burr inside bowl & spindle gouges:

They are a bit expensive though, anyone seen anything similar but a bit less expensive? It doesn't need to be a folding type.

Edit: just found this which is a bit cheaper.

I know this supplier doesn't do that diamond stick thingy, but I thought the general prices for waterstones and diamond sheets were reasonable. The delivery is Japanese postage up to 2k per parcel.

Keep an eye on Lidl, who sell them occasionally.

Why would you want to remove the burr in the first place ?

I would have thought diamond paste on wooden dowels would be a cheaper option.
I've a flat folding version, which I've had for years - very useful for sharpening knives.

I have a number of assorted slip stones, collected over a number of years which I use if I feel the need to smooth the inside of a gouge. I also have a number of diamond credit cards that I use to just refresh the edge with instead of revisiting the grinder.
Regards,
Dave
My tool kit is almost complete, only a few more to get.

Looked at the JPY price and nearly freaked out till I searched for currency conversion.

The ZAR to JPY is 1 ZAR = 8.384JPY, so 1,500JPY = ZAR178, not a bad price at all.
Or - 1JPY = ZAR0.1193

The only turning toold I use a diamond card on is my skew chisel and scrapers. Bowl gouges and the like I leave as is from the grinder the cutting action alone will remove the burr in seconds so no need to bother removing it
