What it isA tool in its own right
Bench jobCleaning and finishing

A worn screwdriver blade or a blunted graver slows every task at the bench. We supply the 4712 stone mounted in its own base so it sits flat while you stone an edge. The narrow rectangular surface gives a steady track for your sharpening guide.

Stone profile

The abrasive runs along a rectangular profile measuring 15 by 15 mm. That narrow face lets you work an edge evenly without rocking across a wide slab.

The mounted base

The stone rests securely inside its base to stay flat against the bench mat. You can draw a blade along the 150 mm length with both hands steady on the tool.

Dressing screwdrivers

Screwdriver blades loose their true parallel flats as they work into steel slots. Resting the blade against this India stone dresses the face back to a crisp profile.

Care and upkeep

Keep the abrasive face wet with light oil while stoning hardened steel. Wipe the surface clean after dressing to lift away metal particles before they load the grain.

Keeping the bench clean

Cleaning putty and what it lifts, why solvents are kept away from some surfaces, the point of a bench mat and a tray with a lip, cloths and brushes, and how tools are put away so the next job starts on a clear board.
