Review: I've been using DMT whetstones for decades - originally the 8" interrupted-surface bench stones (the ones in natty wooden boxes) - now these similar-surfaced double-sided plates. This particular one - Extra Coarse/Coarse - is just about perfect for flatting-off paring-chisel backs, or plane-irons; then making a nice regular bevel, before honing. Quick-cutting & very long-lasting - so long as you lubricate (cheap window-cleaning spray), don't push down hard, wash & dry after use, & above all don't use it for flatting-off your Waterstones. That quickly dulls the 'bite' of the DMT plate. I find these interrupted-surface plates more reliably flat & regularly-surfaced that DMT's solid plates. Both are incomparably superior to any cheapo diamond stone.

Review: I purchased all 4 grades of this bench stone. Quality is better than a whet stone, thus the two stars instead of just one, but they still leave much to be desired for someone who is looking to put a straight, consistent, razor sharp edge on quality woodworking tools and/or cutlery. These stones are not the tool of choice for someone who is anal retentive like me regarding their tools. Over the years I've tried many "sharpening systems", and I've finally found one in the Tormek T-7 that meets the sharpening results that I desire. I have a 20X illuminated 6" magnifying glass that I use while sharpening my tools so that I can see the cutting edge of whatever I am sharpening. I don't care how steady you try & hold your tool while using these bench stones, the edge will be rounded and inconsistent because it is impossible to hold & move a tool or knife across the stone at exactly the same angle on every pass, especially if you need to flip the item over such as when sharpening a knife. If you are the type of person who stores their kitchen knives in a drawer without any blade protection, or you put your woodworking tools together in a toolbox instead of a sheath, then these bench stones will work just fine & dandy for you. My bench stones now reside in the outdoor shed for use on my yard & garden tools. But if you desire a long lasting, consistently razor sharp edge on your woodworking tools or knives, please do yourself a favor and invest in the Tormek T-7. If you do, I would highly recommend that you also get the Japanese waterstone for the Tormek. Just be sure to use it LIGHTLY while sharpening because it can easily spall if you apply too much pressure. And always sharpen your fine kitchen knives with a dual bevel to help the edge stay sharp for long periods of time. I would also recommend the use of a mouse for honing the edge of your razor sharp knives.
