December 2009 - Marlborough, MA –
Diamond Machining Technology (DMT®), a leading manufacturer of diamond
sharpening products, is pleased to announce it’s Diamond Wave? sharpener was selected as a HANDY
Magazine 2009 Innovation Award Winner. The Diamond Wave is the first diamond sharpener
to combine convex and concave abrasive surfaces featuring diverse sharpening angles that can
properly maintain a curved surface tool or edge. Ideal for woodworkers, carvers and
wood turners, the Diamond Wave provides longer sharpening strokes than traditional slip stones.
The HANDY Innovation Awards, now in their ninth year, honor products that showcase initiative,
creativity, invention, reinvention and eco-innovation.
“We are pleased that the Diamond Wave is getting such positive feedback from the
industry. To win an Innovation Award from HANDY Magazine is truly an honor, and to be selected
as one of three Member’s Choice Winners is an accomplishment,” said Mark Brandon, President of
Diamond Machining Technology “DMT prides itself on creating innovative, durable and useful diamond
sharpening products and the Diamond Wave is revolutionary in construction, design and functionality.
We believe it is the ultimate sharpener for the woodworking industry, capable of replacing almost
all other honing devices for curved tools.”
Constructed with a precisely micronized, monocrystaline, diamond coating on
a steel substrate, the Diamond Wave provides smooth and even-stock removal and sharpening without
errant scratches. Its durable abrasive surface will not chip, crack, hollow or groove
and the Diamond Wave will not break, even when dropped. The Diamond Wave sharpens much
faster than traditional conventional slip stones and provides radii from as small
as 1/16”(1.6mm) to 1,” (25.4mm), accommodating a wide range of curved gouges.
The Diamond Wave is available in two grits – a 600 grit/25 micron
diamond and a 1200 grit/9 micron diamond – so it is capable of sharpening and refining to a razor’s
edge. Measuring 10” in overall length, the Diamond Wave allows for longer sharpening strokes.
No lubrication is required with the Diamond Wave and it comes with a non-skid mat to secure your
sharpening surface.
