How long do diamond stones last before becoming ineffective?
I think the first one I ever had, a DMT, I probably ruined within the first few times of using it. Possibly even the first time. I sort of assumed they were indestructible. Just built up way too much heat through vigorous use. The diamonds fall off.

I don't know anything about edge work or stones, but that guy has some weird ideas about irons and wax. Nothing that necessarily works badly (that I have seen), but all sorts of wasted effort and myths.Here you go. Take a look here:

Yep 50% H2O, 50% Denatured Alcohol....But moot point now. Razor-Tune!I like a water alcohol mix because it wets better. I've never done it, but a tiny bit of dish soap would probably work too. I use a toothbrush too.
The big wear I get is on the edges of my coarsest, where rock dings grab it during 1st passes. The finer (later in the sequence) grits last a long time.
