DEGUSSIT honing stones and grinding files

The oxide-ceramic precision grinding tools consists of mixed crystal of extraordinary hardness, the main component of which is aluminium oxide.
 Chrome oxide additives give the typically red colouration. In nature, this crystal appears as ruby. The precision grinding tools have no bonding agent and because
of the great hardness of the sintered crystals have a high resistance to wear and change in shape. These properties are particularly important for precision work
to achieve an excellent surface finish and accuracy of shape. The low wear also has economic advantages. When machining using precision grinding tools, not
only is metal removed from the surface of the work piece but if the finest types are used it can also be hardened and polished by pressure.                                                                                       
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
They are the ideal hand tools for all grinding, deburring and precision grinding work, particularly also for resharpening tools of all kinds. They are suitable for                                                                
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
 making chamfers on cutting tools, notching profiles, working shaped parts of hardened steel and also working other hard or abrasive     materialssuch as  quartz,  glass,ceramics.                                                                                                                                                                                                             
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     
The work can be carried out with the tools either wet or dry. Dampening with petroleum or cutting oil is sufficient. Cleaning is by wiping with a grease-free agent.                                                             
When dry working, the tool is cleaned using an abrasive rubber.
