Thread: Deal on DMT hones

I'm in to woodworking and saw that woodcraft has their 80th anniversary 3 hone set on clearance for $59.99. The first two hones are non-continuous (with the little holes) - 600 and 1200 grit. The third stone is a continuous 8000 grit stone (D6EE?). They are all 6"x2".

I'm mainly getting these for woodworking tools, but the last stone sounds promising for razor use too. For $20.00 per stone, you can't go wrong.

As far as i know they don't make dmt 6EE?8000.3 MICRON?

they do make dmt 1200 6e.
if you know link please do post .thank you

I found the link here: Buy Woodcraft DMT 80th Anniversary Diamond Stone Boxed Set, Woodcraft DMT 80th

You are correct, I can't find a stand-alone 6 inch 8000 grit continuous stone. However, that is what is described in the 80th anniversary set Dave linked.

I'll let you know what I end up with next week!

I hope it's not a misprint. A 2" x 6" EE would be a neat companion to pack along with a barber hone or similar sized coticule...

It's not a misprint. I just grabbed the last one at my local Woodcraft store. Definitely a 3 micron 2" x 6".

DMT's regular channels and their consumer link (both internet and by phone) still say they know nothing about a "D6EE". Apparently it isn't a regular catalog item yet.

Woodcraft tells me the warehouse still has about 600 units left.

This looks great, thanks for posting the info.

Just ordered a set of stones and a few pieces of wood for new scales.

Tool makers/companies often put out one-off, limited edition issues for anniversary, special company occassions, etc. Snap-on for example had a boxed set of gold plated box end wrenches. Stuff like that. Wouldn't surprise me if the 6" is only avaliable in this set and may never make the catalog.

Good info

thx Jim

I received mine today. It's as described. D6EE. Can't wait to try it out!
