About Sharpeners and Sharpening Stones

Sharpeners and sharpening stones are used to sharpen edges and hone internal or external surfaces. Generally, they are stones or bonded abrasive products with a rectangular, block, or shaped stick configuration. There are many types of sharpeners and sharpening stones. Abrasive files are bonded abrasive blocks for hand filing applications. Rubbing bricks are coarse, serrated stone blocks that are used for surface cleaning, reconditioning, and grinding wheel dressing. Bench stones are flat, rectangular stones for sharpening tools on a bench. Hones are designed for offhand honing of ground-cutting tool edges. Slips and slip stones are designed for honing the inner radius of a cutting tool, chisel, or gouge. Honing sticks and honing tools are used to finish internal bores. Special honing tools configurations are available for honing cylindrical surfaces and other specialized shapes. 

Sharpeners and sharpening stones use several different types of abrasive grains. Examples include aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, super-abrasive diamond, and cubic boron nitride. Aluminum oxide, the most common mineral in use today, is used either individually or with other materials to form ceramic grains. Titanium and chromium oxides are also used as additives. Silicon carbide is harder than aluminum oxide, but more friable. Super-abrasive diamond pastes are useful in ferrous polishing or lapping applications where heat and reactivity are not a factor. Cubic boron nitride (CBN) is a superabrasive grain with hardness second to diamond and a cubic crystal structure. Other types of abrasive grains include Arkansas stone, India stone, and water stone. Sharpeners and sharpening stones that consist of several different stone types or grades are also available.
