FAQs
Can these stones be used with a Dremel?
These stones have a 6mm shank. If your Dremel or rotary tool has a collet that accepts 6mm (1/4 inch) accessories, then yes, they will fit.
What is the maximum RPM I can use?
The stones are engineered to operate at a maximum speed of 30,000 RPM.
Are these stones suitable for sharpening lawnmower blades?
Yes, they can be used for light sharpening, but they are better suited for fine detail work than heavy blade re-profiling.
Do I need to use coolant while grinding?
While not always necessary, using a small amount of coolant or water when grinding glass or ceramics can prevent overheating and reduce dust.
Can I use these on wood?
While intended for metal, glass, and ceramics, they can be used on wood for light sanding or shaping, though they may clog quickly.
Troubleshooting
Stone vibrates excessively during use
Ensure the shank is fully inserted and centered in the drill chuck. Tighten the chuck firmly.
Grinding stone is glazing over
Reduce pressure and ensure you are using the correct speed; clean the stone surface with a dressing tool to expose fresh grit.
Material is burning during grinding
Use a lower drill speed and apply lighter pressure to reduce frictional heat buildup.
