Quik question i have dmt 1200 i use for bevel setting. Its gotten quite mucky lucking and i don't think its cuttinng as well do they need cleaning? I have scrubbed with fairy liquid and nail brush it a lot cleaner lucking all the dark stuff as come of but still left with a kind of yellowy lucking surfice is this normal i hav'nt had it long.
Powder cleaners are supposed to be best. (I still need to buy some myself, so I can't vouch for it.)
Have you been using the DMT to lap other hones by any chance?
I sent one in for replacement once and when they sent me the new one they included a cleaning kit with a brass bristle brush and something like comet cleanser. I scrub mine down every so often.
How long did it take them to get back to you? They've had my stones nigh on 3 months...Quote:

I would definitely give them a phone call on Monday if I were you.Quote:

What kind of powder cleanser would anyone recommend if this was to start happening to my DMT (hasn't yet); is there any specific brand?

Or in other words, dish soap! ;)
Dish soap and water seems to work for me. I'm not touching any "fairy liquid" though... I don't care how clean it makes my hones...
Please ... no euphemisms, or it'll go the way of Daddie's Sauce...Quote:
