Smoothing and Polishing Stones
Maintain tools, molds, and dies. These stones can be used by hand or in power tools with a compatible holder. Choose the shape that best matches the contour of your work surface.
Novaculite stones have extremely fine grains that cut very slowly for the most control over finishing. Also known as Arkansas stones. Grit is approximate. We recommend using a water-soluble or oil-based lubricant.

Aluminum oxide cuts more slowly than silicon carbide for finer control. Also known as India stones.
Novaculite has extremely fine grains that cut very slowly for the most control over sharpening. Also known as Arkansas stones.
For stones that require lubrication, we recommend using a water-soluble or oil-based lubricant.
