The latest innovation from Diamond Machining Technology (DMT), is the DMT Dia-Flat diamond lapping plate manufactured with the company’s revolutionary Diamond Hardcoat Technology. The product is a superior choice for flattening any abrasive stone like waterstones, oilstones or Arkansas stones because of its supreme flatness.
Each Dia-Flat is hand certified for flatness less than .0005” across its surface and can replace any surface used for flattening other abrasive stones, according to DMT Technical Director Stan Watson. “Our Diamond Hardcoat Technology will outlast any other diamond coated lapping plate on the market. It’s also 50 percent larger than other lapping plates; and unlike other diamond lapping plates there are no restrictions on how coarse a stone it can be used on.”
DMT is recognized as the leader in diamond sharpening with its diverse product line and reputation for quality and innovation, All DMT products are proudly made in the U.S.A. and built to last with the highest quality materials and workmanship. They are distinguished by precisely sized micron monocrystalline diamond, the most effective and durable single crystal super-abrasive. And DMT sharpeners are completely portable and self-contained.
The DMT Dia-Flat will be formally introduced on April 15, 2011 but has already been subjected to several testers in the United States and Europe. Chris Schwartz, editor of Popular Woodworking magazine, tested the product and wrote, “I’ve flattened my Shaptons about 200 times with the stone. So far, I love the thing. It is heavy, at four pounds, and big, at 4-1/4″ x 10″. The weight and size keep it on the stone and make it easy to hold. The grit cuts fast and leaves a nice surface. And the thing is flat. DMT certifies it as flatter than .0005″ across its surface.”
