DMT磨刀石問與答
以下問與答為MFT翻譯自DMT ，引用請註明出處。
Are diamond stones really made of diamond?
Yes, our DMT® diamond stones are made of diamond. However, these monocrystal are not useful as jewelry. The largest and coarsest diamonds in the DMT® sharpening 60 microns in size. That is still very small.
DMT磨刀石真的是鑽石作的嗎？
是的，DMT磨刀石是鑽石製造，但這種鑽石並非一般珠寶用的鑽石，在DMT磨刀石上使用的最粗的鑽石是60micron的粗度，但那還是非常細小的。
What is a monocrystal and why is that important?
Monocrystal are diamonds of high quality that are not fractured. These diamonds are uniformly sized. DMT® bonds these to a nickel backing to provide a long lasting very flat surface. The alternative is to use polycrystal . These diamonds are fractured and will not wear as long as the higher quality monocrystal .
單晶矽(Monocrystal 是什麼，有什麼重要性？
單晶矽鑽石的品質很高且不會碎裂，這種鑽石是不規則的。DMT將這種鑽石和鎳金屬結合，合成成平整且耐用的表面。另一種相對的鑽石叫做多晶矽(polycrystal 這種則是容易碎裂，並且沒辦法像單晶矽這麼高品質與持久。
What do you recommend as a lubricant for diamond stones?
We recommend water on diamond stones for lubrication and to wash away the swarf. It works well, it easy to clean up, and is readily available.
你們建議使用什麼來潤滑鑽石磨刀石？
我們建議用水來潤滑，並沖去金屬屑。水很好用，方便清理且隨處可得。
What is the difference between the DMT Duo-Sharp stones and the DMT Dia-Sharp sharpening stones?
The Dia-Sharp is a continuous diamond surface while the Duo-Sharp is a interrupted diamond surface. While both sharpen equally well, there are specific situation where you might prefer one over another.
The Dia-Sharp's continuous diamond surface is helpful when you have pointed tools. Pointed tools can get caught in the recesses of the Duo-Sharp's interrupted surface. The Duo-Sharp's stones are backed by a plastic base. This plastic base makes the stones much lighter and therefore more portable. The recesses in the Duo-Sharp also tends to hold the swarf (metal filing made when sharpening) so it is not in the way of your sharpening.
DMT Duo-Sharp系列和DMT Dia-Sharp系列有和差別？
Dia-Sharp系列是連續鑽石表面而Duo-Sharp系列是不連續表面。兩種品質都很優良，只是在使用場合上有區別。
Dia-Sharp系列是連續鑽石表面對於要磨尖頭工具時相當好用，磨尖頭工具若是用Duo-Sharp系列來磨，可能被表面的洞卡住。Duo-Sharp系列有著塑膠材質的底部，這讓磨刀石整體變得比較輕也有較高的攜帶性。Duo-Sharp系列表面上的洞則是可以讓磨出的金屬屑可以留在洞裡而讓磨刀的過程更順暢。
What do the different colors of DMT® stones mean?
The different colors indicate the size of grit and therefore the coarseness of the stone.
DMT磨刀石的顏色代表什麼意思
不同的顏色代表著磨刀石不同的粗細度。
Extra Coarse - Recommended for aggressive removal of metal on damaged tools or for heavy-duty outdoor tools such as axes and lawn mower blades. Also commonly used as the first step in flattening the backs of chisels and plane irons and for rapid stock removal from a chipped or badly damaged edge. Color code: extra coarse (60 micron, 220 mesh) "black".
Extra Extra Coarse - The most coarse DMT grit available. Recommended for very aggressive removal of metal on damaged or extremely dull edges. Color code: extra extra coarse (120 micron, 120 mesh) "silver".
Coarse - Quickly restores a dull edge to cutting sharp again. Customers that desire cutting fast action without worry of edge refinement often use our coarse models. Color code: coarse (45 micron, 325 mesh) "blue".
Fine - Restores to a fine edge any knife or tool that is slightly dull. Many of our customers consider the fine grit to be a medium/all purpose sharpener. Professional Chefs and gourmet cooks prefer using our fine grit models. For woodworkers and sportsman who are stepping through the grits, it is the edge refinement step done before micro beveling and polishing. Color code: fine (25 micron, 600 mesh) "red".
Extra Fine - Refines and polishes the sharp edge to razor sharp perfection. If you are new to sharpening or if you do not need your knife or tool edge to be as sharp as absolutely possible, this grit is not recommended. But if you expect only the highest standard of sharpness, this is the grit you are looking for! Color code: extra fine (9 micron, 1200 mesh) models "green".
Extra Extra Fine - The finest DMT grit available. We recommend using this only after you're used the extra fine. This grit is so fine that it has almost no ability to sharpen dull edges. It will put an even finer edge on very sharp tools Color code: extra extra fine (3 micron, 8000 mesh) models "green".
Why is uniformity of grit size important on diamond stones?
The uniformity of grit is critical to efficient sharpening. If you're using a coarse stone you want your grit to be uniformly coarse. If there is finer grits present in the stone it will not cut nearly as fast. If you are trying to finely hone your edge the presence of coarse grit in your stone will not allow you to achieve the fine edge you desire.
Uniformity of grit size on your stone can be assured by purchasing high quality diamond stone products made by DMT®. A practical tip when sharpening is also to clean off your blade of any remaining grit when moving to the next finest stone, any old grit or swarf may cause more coarse scratches on your edge, defeating the purpose of the finer grit.
How do I care for my DMT® Diamond Stones?
Always rinse your stones with water after use. Water will remove the metal filings left on the surface that could rust. After rinsing we always recommend drying the stones thoroughly so they can be stored dry. If your diamond stone becomes dirty you can use a tooth brush and a household abrasive cleaner to clean up the stones.
我應該如何保養DMT磨刀石？
使用後記得要用水清洗，水會將金屬屑沖掉，避免留在磨刀石上生鏽。清洗後擦乾並使它陰乾。若是磨刀石髒了，可以用牙刷或是清潔用的刷子刷洗磨刀石。
Where are DMT® Diamond Stones made?
The DMT® products we carry are all made in the United States.
DMT磨刀石是哪裡製造的？
所有的DMT鑽石磨刀石，都是在美國生產製造。
Do you have a guarantee on your DMT® stones?
Yes, we absolutely do! We work with high quality manufacturers like DMT® to ensure your products meet our standards as well as yours. In the highly unlikely event you get a defective product, please let us know and we'll take care of it.
Are diamond stones good for flattening water stones?
Yes, the DMT® DuoSharp® stones is great for flattening water stones. We recommend the extra coarse or the coarse stone for flattening. To use it just scrub the surface of the water stone with the diamond stone. Once the stone is uniformly flat it will appear uniform in color with fresh cutting material ready for sharpening.
鑽石磨刀石可以拿來整平一般的磨刀石嗎？
是的，DMT DuoSharp系列很適合拿來當整平石，我們建議使用最粗或是粗的磨刀石來當整平石，只需在一般磨刀石上用DMT磨刀石磨幾次，讓表面平整後就可以了。
Are DMT® stones flat?
Yes, that is one of the many advantages of DMT® diamond stones. They are designed to be extremely flat. Because of this they are very useful in flattening chisels, plane irons, and even other stones such as water stones.
DMT磨刀石平嗎？
是的，這是DMT磨刀石眾多優點之一。它們極度平整，因為如此，所以非常適合拿來磨鑿子，平的鐵器，甚至拿來整平一般的水磨石。
How long will the diamond last on my stone?
The life of the diamond is a factor of how often you use your stone and how well you take care of it. If diamond stones are properly maintained, meaning they are kept clean and stored dry, they can last a long time. Diamond stones will, however, not last forever. For those that use stones on a daily basis and maintain them properly, the diamond will likely last for a few years. For those that use them less frequently, it's likely the stone will last from ten to twenty years.
磨刀石上的鑽石可以撐多久？
鑽石的壽命取決於使用的頻率以及正確的保養。若是磨刀石在正確保養的狀態下：也就是保持清潔與乾燥，它們可以使用非常非常久，但當然，鑽石磨刀石不是永遠用不壞的。若是你每天使用且正確保養，那一個鑽石磨刀石可以使用好幾年。若是不是每天使用，一個鑽石磨刀石大概可以用上十幾二十年。
How do I know when my diamond stone is worn out?
First clean your stone thoroughly to ensure that it is not clogged with buildup. Stones can be cleaned with a toothbrush and an abrasive household cleaner. If after the stone is cleaned you are still experiencing problems, test the stone on the side of an old glass jar. Rub the stone against the glass to see if it leave scratches or frosts the glass. If you see evidence of scratches or frost, there are still diamonds left on your stone that can be used for sharpening.
我要如何判斷磨刀石上的鑽石已經磨損了？
首先將磨刀石清洗乾淨，確定表面沒有細屑阻塞。可以用清潔刷來清理。若是清理乾淨，你還是覺得磨刀石不好磨，拿一個不要的玻璃瓶作測試，用磨刀石去磨玻璃瓶的邊緣，看看是否留下刮痕，若是有留下刮痕，那表示磨刀石上的鑽石仍有作用，可以繼續工作。
