Do you use any form of lubricate with these stones?

If I use anything at all I use spit. You dont really need to use anything though.

You don't have to, but it says that you can use water to wet the knife blade, and I do. I have to say this is the best sharpener. There are YouTube videos if you're curious.

Water only. BEST knife sharpener out there. Period. I hunt & fish and tinker with the culinary arts and all of my knives are like razor blades thanks to the DMT knife sharpener.

Hubby says that all the diamond tipped ones can be used on stone or glass. ( the granular embedded ones). Hope that can help you!! :.))

I'm sorry I don't have the expertise to answer that question, but any competent jeweler should be able to tell you. I know there are certain stones that are not recommended to be used in an ultrasonic cleaner, and especially costume jewelry where the stones are held in place with an adhesive do not fair well ( personal experience) but well mounted stones should not be a problem. When in doubt, a professional jeweler should be consulted.

No, you can't. We use diamond honing stones for them. Then finish it with a silicon carbide sharpener.

I Have not ever worked with stones, but it works very well on towels. Don't see a reason why it wouldn't work.

This stone requires water. I suggest that you soak it submerged for 24 hours before the first use. Turn it over several times during the 24 hour period. Each time you turn it over you will see new bubbbles of air escaping from the stone. Use the stone while WET! In subsequent uses, soak for between 20 minutes to 2 hours depending on how much 'new' air is escaping from the stone. I understand oil can be used in addition to water but I am told and have demonstrated that it is unneccessary. Good Luck!

I use a polishing cloth and once a month cleaning solution. I recently had to have the tines tightened because the stone seemed loose and actually fell out.

I have used oil and just water. Both work great but, I'd use one or the other. Other wise, it will just wear out the stone. I was just using the stone to sharpen my lawn mower blade and my machete, today. It's an awesome stone.

Hi Scott, it's recommended to use water based lube with the UR3 type materials.

Do NOT soak the 6000# grit (white) stone. Everything I have read states that because of the fitness of the grit, the can become fragile and crack. Soak only the lower grit (brownish) stones. see Korin website.

No need to lubricate before using. After that, clean and lubricate like you would any other chain - depending on conditions.

You should only lubricate the "grinder plate", the "grinding knife", and the "auger". I made the mistake of lubricating the '"front ring nut" and it kept coming loose while grinding. I use olive oil for lubricating my grinder.

AFAIK there is no need for lubrication, none is supplied, none is available to purchase as an extra, and the instructions simply say wash under cold water, carefully use tissue etc to dry the excess, then let it air dry... hth

You can use them really in any drink. Keep in mind though that the stones chill your drink. Always rinse and dry before you put them back in the freezer.

I generally don't use any. I have not taken it apart but it seems this pump is all polymer, so I don't think it need lubricant. I have pumped gasoline and diesel, which are both easy chemicals for this pump. I have also pumped alcohols, which are also easy. The most aggressive solvent I have pumped is ethyl formate, and the pump seemed to handle this well also. Other pumps that were for gasoline did not work for ethyl formate.

Nothing. These are carbide and cases don't need to be lubed first. It's a nice set of dies.
