Review: Works wonderfully sharpening blades and flattening chisels... - This sharpening stone works great! Being 8"x3" it is the perfect size for sharpening plane blades and chisels. I achieved very sharp edges on my chisels and plane blades and was able to flatten the backs of my blades. I like that it has two sides so I only have one stone to deal with instead of two. I also like that it is monocrystalline instead of polycrystalline; monocrystaline sharpens more efficiently and lasts longer. One side is 300 grit and the other side is 1000 grit. These are marked clearly on each side. Only the 300 grit side has the clearance channels. At the time of this review, the photo advertised here in desertcart is not correct since it shows clearance channels on a 1000 grit stone. These channels are very effective for keeping the lapping fluid evenly distributed on the surface and also clear out some of the metal shavings. The 1000 grit side does not have these channels. I wish it did since it really helps a lot. I find the channels on this Trend stone to be much better than the holes used on DMT stones. While a knife point can still occasionally hang up in these channels, the point will have more tendency to skip over it rather than catching hard like on the edges of the holes on a DMT stone. I sharpened two pocket knives on this stone and only had the knife point hang up once. The channels on the Trend stone also take up less space on the stone, thereby allowing for more diamond cutting surface, unlike the DMT stones where the many big holes leave very little cutting surface left. DMT does have steel plate stones very similar to these Trend stones, but DMT currently does not offer any clearance holes or channels on them. I only used a general purpose household cleaner in a spray bottle as the lubrication. The soapy solution works well as a lubricant and is easy to clean up; it is also very cost effective. Don't' use bathroom cleaners since those can be corrosive if left on metal for too long. Once broken in, my knife and blade edges came out very smooth and sharp. I posted a photo of one of the bad chisels I flattened with this stone. Diamond sharpening stones do require a break in period. The courser the stone, the less time it takes to break in (because there are fewer diamonds to break in on a course stone). When first pulled out of the package, this Trend stone is very rough. I grabbed one of my low quality chisels and started working on it to improve the chisel and break in the stone. The 300 grit side broke-in within about 30 minutes of working this one chisel (the chisel was in really bad shape and would have sharpened quicker if I used an extra course stone). The 1000 grit took about 2.5 to 3 hours of sharpening time with a few different chisels and knives before it broke in. Some people expect the stone to be broke-in right out of the box; however, with a stone that will last for several years, I don't have a problem spending a few hours breaking it in. The pouch it comes with is well made and very handy to have. It also comes with what they call a cleaning block. This item seems to be nothing more than a big pencil eraser. But it is nice they included it. It also comes with a non-slip pad: this is also something you can buy in a home store that is used as liners in drawer bottoms, but again it is very nice they included it. Overall, I am very pleased with the performance of this stone. I highly recommend that if you are looking to get a diamond stone, this one will not disappoint as it is high quality and sharpens wonderfully - far better than sand stones. Updated information: I have also used the DMT diamond stones. I find the trend stones to be far more quality made than DMT. The Trend stone has a more uniform coating of diamonds and the metal block has squared edges instead of slightly rounded edges. The Trend also does not seem to clog as easily as the DMT. The DMT stones also seem to lose diamonds much easier than the Trend. I also believe the Trend is a flatter stone after I attempted to flatten a few plane blades. Therefore, as a side by side comparison, I put Trend stones well above the DMT stones.
Review: The best value if you're on a budget or have limited space. - This is a good plate. If you have no others at all, start here and you'll get the most bang for your buck. The performance is very good. I have DMT, Trend, and Atoma plates, more than10 between the brands and the grits. The trend plate cuts the fastest, hands down. As somebody that has different types, I'll go so far as briefly explaining the differences that I see between them all. They are also advertised as having the most flatness of any of my diamond plates. Would I buy it again, yes. Having all of the different plates and if I could do it over again, I'd buy two different trend plates and then just move onward to my Shapton water stones. It would have saved a lot of money and I'd have still been happy with the results. I always follow water stones anyway. Be absolutely sure to use a rubber plate/stone holder to keep it in place and prevent the under-side from getting marred if you buy a double-sided plate. The gee-whiz comparison: The Trend is the fastest cutting plate that I have. It also has a consistent in the scratch pattern for the 300 grit side. Because it's double-sided, I didn't need to purchase two separate plates, less weight. The rest of my diamond plates are single surface and let me tell you, the entire collection is heavy. When using lubricating fluid, they work well. I don't have to apply fluid as much as I do with Atomas. Metal waste clears easily. These feel solid like DMT and overall best value. Could buy two different plates and get four grits. Best value. The DMT is a nice piece of steel, but the diamonds seem to fracture much more frequently and leave rogue scratches that are harder to work out. The DMT seem a tiny bit more susceptible to rust with a very faint reddish hue, even after using rust inhibitor in the lubricating fluid (hone right) and taking care to dry them with lint-free cloth as much as possible. When using lubricating fluid, The DMTs require the least amount of fluid and the metal waste clears easily. These feel the most dense and rugged of all. The Atomas are my favorite when I want a beautiful polished surface. With just a tiny bit more pressure, I can get mirrored finishes and the most uniformed scratch pattern of all. The plate is aluminum and the diamond plate substrate is steel, adhered to the aluminum plate. Atomas cut smoother and even though they are rated at 400, 600, 800, 1200, they actually feel like 600, 1000, 1500, 2000. I have to use lots of fluid continually as the metal slurry builds or the plate will dry and the tool will slightly stick. The steel substrate will gouge and scratch if you are abusive (I tested on one). The aluminum corners and base will ding and slightly bend if you drop it hard enough (tested too). These are lightest of all. If the steel is beat-up, I go to the DMT plates. If the steel is clean, I go straight to the Trend first because it's the fastest. If I need just the most gengle of touch-up work, I use Atoma. If I am putting a very good cutting edge, I then step through the shapton water stones up to 16000--depending on the tool--and will even finish on a stop that's equivalent to about 30,000 grit.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does the stone have clearing channels on the 1000 side?**
A: Yes. Despite previous answers, mine has clearance channels on both sides (300 & 1000).  I suspect this is due to model # differences. Contact Trend directly to clear this up.

**Q: Must you use a lubricating fluid or can you sharpen with the stone dry?**
A: The fluid is important to take the removed metal away and reduce friction. The plate itself is stainless steel with nickel plating, so it will not rust, but any residue from the item being sharpened will rust if it is allowed to remain on the plate, so remove it. I use an all purpose cleaner like Simple Green as both the cutting fluid and the cleaner. Just hold the plate under running water and dry it carefully.

**Q: Which is the best brand in quality out there?  trend, ultra sharp, atoma, or another?  this seems to be middle of road in price?**
A: I can't personally speak to the other brands, but I do use this one every day. All those brands have someone I trust backing them, so buy one with the price you like, and when it arrives take it out and check it back and forth for absolute dead-flatness on both sides. if it looks even slightly dished or bowed, send it back (this is a defective stone) and try again. There is a lot of marketing jargon out there (as I'm sure you're aware) which is usually a tip-off that they're all the same. The "best" one is the one that gets you back to work quickly.

**Q: what method and material does manufacturer recommend for cleaning ?.**
A: Trend sells a honing fluid that also cleans...but I use window cleaner.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great sharpening set for your router bits and much more.
*by E***O on February 16, 2025*

I was in the market for a sharpening set to sharpen some router bits and I stumbled across Trend’s sharpening set. When I purchased this set it was 30% off of the already low price of $36. This elder is such a bargain for what you’re paying for. If you purchase everything individually you’re paying almost triple the price. Now just because it’s a bargain doesn’t mean you’re not buying one of the best sharpening tools on the market. The sharpening file is very ergonomic and durable. It’s a breeze to get setup and works wonderfully on your tools that need sharpening. The sharpening stone is dead on flat so you’ll be consistent.
