Customer Reviews

Stable base for heavy sharpening
I use this base to hold 4" DMT whetstones and sharpen chisels and planes. These heavy items can move around an unsecured sharpening system. Plus the DMT stones are used wet which makes the table top slippery unless you are a lot neater than I am.

I was very satisfied with the plastic base. It never moved even when placed on wet formica. The elevated height allowed me to guide the tool along the edge and to flatten the chisel backs without hitting fingers on the table top. Eight rubber washers slip over plastic feet. Sounds flimsy, but its not. I would recommend gluing the rubber feet on at some point just so they don't get lost.

It also lets one store the diamond plate without scratching other surfaces or damaging the plate bottom.

The diamond stone came with a non-skid pad, but it would not hold a piece of plate glass still unless the table top was perfectly flat (and most are not).

The main disadvantage to the holder is that the stone cannot be easily flipped over. One plastic end must be removed and then reinserted. Maybe a 15 second job, but if you are going to use both sides in succession, it's inconvenient. I wish I had bought a coarse/fine combo instead of a fine/x-fine.

Money well spent.

GREAT item, NO customer service
I ordered this and a combination diamond stone but they arrived loose in a box. Fortunately their individual packages prevented any damage. However the duo base requires 12 rubber cushions and only 10 were in the package. I sent two emails to DMT about this and received NO response. Not even an acknowledgement to the emails. I was able to find similar cushions and the stone with base work like a champ. I tried to make Amazon aware of this but their website will only let you 'return' items. I only want to make them aware of the lack of communication from the manufacturer and this review area is the only apparent avenue to do that.

It's ok
I must admit I was expecting something heavier and better quality. This is made out of plastic with rubber contacts to prevent it from slipping. I placed my duosharp stone on it and placed the whole thing on my tile counter tops. The rubber feet do slip after the countertops get wet (which they will since you need the water to lubricate). The little rubber mat that came with the duosharp stone I bought was better. I did like the fact that it raises the stone so it makes it easier to use.
