Marlborough, MA — Elizabeth P. Powell, chair of Diamond Machining Technology (DMT) of Marlborough, Massachusetts, announces the signing of Scott Phillips to an endorsement agreement for the Scott Phillips Signature Series of DMT precision diamond sharpeners.

DMT is the recognized leader in diamond sharpening, offering quality sharpening solutions to produce precision edges that perform for everything from DYI projects to large scale industrial applications. In making the Phillips announcement, Powell said, “DMT is extremely pleased in our association with Scott. His extensive knowledge and mastery of woodworking is communicated with clarity and infectious enthusiasm. His endorsement of the Signature Series products is part of his genuine interest in informing woodworkers on the value of quality tools and educating them on how to use and maintain the tools properly. We are proud Scott has chosen to assist us in educating the public in the key attributes that make DMT's diamond sharpening systems the foremost products in the category.”

Scott Phillips is nationally recognized as a master woodworker, lecturer, president of Sylvan Tools Works, and host of the popular Public Television series, The American Woodshop. Phillip's use and appreciation of DMT's quality diamond sharpeners to maintain his own woodworking tools spurred DMT to develop the Signature Series with Phillip's endorsement. Commenting on the DMT agreement, Phillips stated, “I rely on the quality performance of DMT diamond sharpeners to protect my investment in quality tools. They are part of my regular sharpening routine that keeps my tools cutting accurately, cleanly and safely. My decision to endorse the Signature Series was based on DMT's innovative engineering, ease of use with superior results even on the hardest materials and the reliability and consistent quality of these American made diamond sharpeners.”

Geared toward the needs of the woodworker and the variety of chisels, planes, bits and knives most utilized, the Scott Phillips Signature Series products offer a comprehensive selection of three individual diamond sharpening systems. DMT is marking these products with a special Scott Phillips Signature Series graphic. DMT is also producing a point-of-purchase promotional video in cooperation with Phillips to be made available to retailers.
