Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

It is fast cutting but controllable, users beware, but i am not sure how long it will last. Absolutely durable and worth the money.

This is all you need to flatten all your water stones. Works great flattening all of my shapton glass stones. Stone is great, perfectly flat, matches the flatness of float glass.

Grit atoma diamond whetstone. The #140 of cause is the roughest among the #400 and #1200. Both the 140 grit and the 400 grit levels work well for flattening japanese water stones.

The structured diamond is superior to other diamond products i have used. The unique surface texture seems to cut better than some other ones. The aluminum core is lighter and easier to handle.

It lives up to all the hype. As with most diamonds, this is really rough and grabby at first. Honestly couldn't be happier.



Cons

The flatness of the atoma is not good enough to flatten a plane iron or chisel back. Unfortunately this stone has flatness issues too.

Competitiveness


I have had a number of other brands and these seem to hold up as well or better than most even including more expensive brands


Also the aluminum core is lighter and easier to handle when compared to the diasharps

    Blows through medium to hard knife steels be careful because that also means you can make a mistake in a hurry too

    I’ll estimate that it should flatten your stones within a few minutes if they are in bad shape and under a minute if your doing some routine flattening
