Yes, our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/dmt\"\u003eDMT® diamond stones\u003c\/a\u003e are made of diamond. These monocrystalline diamonds are man-made diamonds. The largest and coarsest diamonds in the DMT® sharpening line are 120 microns in size while the smallest are 3 microns in size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ. What is a monocrystalline diamond and why is that important?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA. Monocrystalline diamonds are diamonds of high quality that are not fractured. These diamonds are uniformly sized. DMT® bonds these to a nickel backing to provide a long-lasting very flat surface. The alternative is to use polycrystalline diamonds. The less expensive polycrystalline diamonds are fractured and will not wear as long as the higher quality monocrystalline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ. What do you recommend as a lubricant for diamond stones?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA. We recommend water on diamond stones for lubrication and to wash away the swarf. It works well, is easy to clean up, and is readily available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor other frequently asked questions, see our list of \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/articles\/dmt-and-diamond-stone-faq\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDMT and Diamond Stone FAQs.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DMT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51978267525422,"sku":"DM8EFCX","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0769\/9287\/2750\/files\/DIA-MAG-KIT_1_86250cef-9935-4c06-8704-e607e11676ad.jpg?v=1786985601","url":"https:\/\/www.sharpeningsupplies.com\/products\/dmt-dia-mag-plate-with-base","provider":"Sharpening Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
