Norton Abrasives IM313 Pro Multi-Oilstone Sharpening System c/w 11-1/2" Coarse
Crystolon, Medium Crystolon and Fine India Stones, 4-1/2 Ounce Norton Oil,
Plastic Angle Guide and Reservoir Uni The IM313 sharpening system has long
been considered the to be the ultimate sharpening system. The 2-1/2 In wide x
11-1/2 In. long stone permits long strokes for faster more precise sharpening
of all straight edge tools. The coarse Crystalon® stone quickly restores badly
worn cutting edges; the medium Crystalon® stone produces the average edge
needed for many tools and the fine India® stone hones to a sharper edge. The
heavy base has a non skid bottom. A pint can of Norton Oil is included with
each IM313 The Norton Crystolon and India IM313 11-1/2 inch three-stone
sharpening system includes 100-grit and 150-grit silicon carbide stones and a
320-grit aluminum oxide stone, a self-contained three-stone bench sharpening
unit with a lid and no-slip rubber feet, a reservoir, an angle guide, and a 16
oz. bottle of sharpening stone oil for lubrication. In the top of the bench
sharpening unit, a rotating axis holds the stones firmly in place, protecting
them against breakage, and bringing the desired stone into position for
sharpening. The base of the sharpening unit is a reservoir that allows
submersion of the unused stones, keeping them clean and saturated. The angle
guide helps to position a tool correctly for sharpening. The three stones in
this system are used sequentially to restore cutting edges on straight-edged
tools, such as knives, chisels, plane blades, and precision instruments; the
100-grit silicon carbide stone is suitable for repairing a cutting edge, while
the 150-grit silicon carbide stone is suitable for sharpening and maintaining
the edge, and the 320-grit aluminum oxide stone produces a honed cutting edge.
The sharpening stone oil meets FDA requirements for use near food, and
consists of pharmacopeia-grade mineral oil formulated with the correct
lubricity for oilstone sharpening. It prevents metal from bonding with the
abrasive surface by flushing away dislodged abrasive and metal chips. Each
stone is also prefilled with oil to save time and eliminate the need to
presoak it prior to use. The silicon carbide stones are fast-cutting and offer
effective sharpening, even under light pressure. The aluminum oxide stone has
a tough fracture- and wear-resistant grit that is more durable than silicon
carbide and capable of sharpening to very close tolerances. Each stone is
created by grading the material to a consistent particle size and blending it
with bonding agents. It is then molded and surface-finished. These unusually
large 1/2 x 11-1/2 x 2-1/2 inch (H x W x D) oilstones, which are suitable for
bench use, are harder and more durable than a waterstone. (H is height, the
vertical distance from lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal
distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to
back.) They conform to the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
abrasive grit standard. Sharpening stones, or whetstones, are abrasive
surfaces used to sharpen and hone the edges of steel cutting implements, such
as chisels, knives, scissors, hand scrapers, and plane blades. Sharpening is
the process of creating or re-establishing a cutting edge by grinding away
portions of the metal to adjust the angle of the edge and reform the shape.
Honing removes small imperfections. Stones can be flat, for working flat
edges, or shaped, for edges that are more complex. Sharpening stones are made
of natural or synthetic materials that range from softer to harder, and are
categorized by the size of their abrasive particles, known as grit. A stone
with a coarser grit is used when more metal needs to be removed (e.g., when
sharpening a nicked or very dull blade); the stone with the finest grit
produces the sharpest edge. Where numbers are assigned to specify grit, they
range from coarser grit (low) to finer grit (high). Some sharpening stones are
designed for use with a lubricating liquid, some can be used dry, and others
can be used either wet or dry. When used with lubricating liquid, a sharpening
stone can be called a waterstone or an oilstone, based on the lubricant
required. Norton Abrasives manufactures sanding, grinding, and polishing

oilstone, and meets U.S. Pharmacopeia standards for mineral oil purity. Norton
sharpening stone oil is a highly refined lubricant that is effective for many
other lubricating uses. This 4-1/2-oz. can of sharpening stone oil, measuring

Oil. Specially formulated for all types of metal. Norton sharpening stone oil
is a natural, highly refined light mineral oil. It is a pharmacopia grade oil
so it is safe for use on kitchen tools. Mineral oil lubrication is recommended
for all Norton oil stones. Oil acts as an effective lubricant during the
sharpening process to float away metal and abrasive dust that would otherwise
clog up the stone and ultimately render it useless.
