Wet Stone Grinding Wheels: What To Look For
If you’re upgrading your equipment to include a wet grinding stone, consider the following benefits and what features you should look out for to achieve the most precise trim and blade longevity.
- Affordability: Most manual kits are more affordable – both at cost and in the long-run – than electric operating systems.
- Quality control: By manually controlling the sharpening unit, these have less risk of damaging your blades than some machine operated tools.
- Durability: A durable, hardworking solution, wet stones are investment-worthy pieces that will extend the life of your knives and last several years in a working kitchen – even with regular use.
And among the different types of grinders on the market, there are:
- Low-grit (with a grit number of less than 1000) are well suited to blunt knives and tools.
- Medium-grit (with a grit number between 1000-3000) are best used for regular maintenance and recovery of blunt edges. Though it appears higher in number, this is not as coarse as a low-grit solution.
- High-grit (with a grit number between 4000-8000) are excellent choices for regular kitchen and food processing use.
