Slip Stones
Slip Stones
Slip stones are essential for woodworkers who demand precision and sharpness in their tools. These specialised sharpening stones are designed to hone the intricate profiles of carving tools, gouges and other curved blades that standard flat stones cannot accommodate. Crafted from high-quality materials, slip stones offer a range of grits to suit various sharpening needs, from initial shaping to fine honing. Their unique shapes, often featuring rounded or tapered edges, allow for meticulous attention to detail, ensuring that every curve and angle of your tool is perfectly sharpened. Whether you're a cabinet maker refining a delicate moulding plane or a woodturner maintaining the edge of a bowl gouge, slip stones provide the control and accuracy required for superior craftsmanship. Their compact size makes them easy to handle and ideal for both workshop and on-site use. Investing in a quality slip stone not only extends the life of your tools but also enhances the quality of your work, allowing for smoother cuts and finer finishes. At Axminster Tools, our selection of slip stones caters to the discerning woodworker who values precision and excellence in every project.
