PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The NORTON IM9 India fine-grit replacement oilstone for the IM313 sharpening system is made of 320-grit aluminum oxide, suitable for sharpening and maintaining steel cutting edges; it produces durable, smooth-cutting edges and is preferred for close tolerances. The stone is prefilled with oil to save time and eliminate the need to presoak it prior to use. The oil prevents metal from bonding with the abrasive surface by flushing away dislodged abrasive and metal chips. This oilstone is commonly used to replace a stone in the Norton IM313 sharpening system, or as a bench stone, to restore cutting edges on straight-edged tools such as chisels, knives, plane blades, and precision instruments. FROM THE MANUFACTURER IM9 Fine Grit India@ IM313 Replacement Stones are Bench Oilstones used to provide a fine edge. Use to restore slightly dulled cutting edges and enhance the finish left by Medium and Coarse Crystolon@ or India@ stones. Norton India@ oilstones are manufactured using a proprietary process that impregnates them with a petroleum based product that allows the lubrication used during the sharpening process to stay on the stone's surface. As a result, the metal from the object being sharpened and small pieces of abrasive that break off the stone become suspended in the lubricant. This prevents these materials from imbedding into the sharpening stone's surface, keeping it free cutting and making it easy to keep its surface clean.
