Make your workshop the home of the sharpest tools on the block. Create the perfect edge on the most comprehensive freehand diamond sharpening station ever created. A six-stage sharpening journey across three grades of super durable monocrystalline diamond, finished on three real leather strops with three grades of polishing wax – all backed up by a 10-year guarantee.

A lifetime of sharpening MPOWER’s revolutionary Side By Side (SBS) sharpening station means this diamond stone really will last forever, rather than having to throw away an expensive tool due to a small part of it being worn. Owing to the unique manufacturing process used, a damaged diamond surface can be inexpensively and easily replaced.

Complete sharpening package

The Side by Side (SBS) has been in development for over four years and is the most complete sharpening package available. The process of correctly sharpening a tool, be it a 6mm bevel-edge chisel or plane iron, involves a number of essential elements, all of which are cunningly stored in the SBS canvas carry/storage case.

Easier to use – plain & simple

Compared to using a traditional double-sided 8in diamond stone, where you set up to use one side/grade, mount it in the stone holder, use it, clean it off, reset it to the other grade, place it back into the stone holder and start again, the SBS is on your bench ready to go, instantly offering three grades of diamond to sharpen on.

The SBS is also the first diamond stone that’s fitted with three leather-topped magnetic protective covers with two different grades of leather: firm and soft. Three grade sharpening is followed by three strop finishing, all without moving from the job.

Manufacturing process

MPOWER has developed a unique process in manufacturing diamond stones. Six years ago, they pioneered the use of high tolerance aluminium extruded cores with 3M adhesive bonded electro plating diamond plates as the surface, resulting in the flattest diamond stones available with a tolerance of +/- 0.00175in.

Each Side by Side is made in MPOWER’s factory in Salisbury, Wiltshire, UK.During manufacture every stone undergoes 11 different QA tests to ensure that each one meets the very highest standards possible.
