Diamond Honing Cones Kit

The DMT DCKF Diamond Cone Kit Fine has garnered a mixed reception among users, largely due to personal preferences and varying experiences with the product's effectiveness. While some users rave about its performance, especially for honing lathe turning tools like gouges and skews, others have expressed disappointment in the product's design and quality control. Several users have found that the cones in this kit surpass other sharpening tools, such as the DMT "WAVE," citing a clean edge that can be achieved with the DCKF Diamond Cone. However, the kit has not been without its criticisms. A common concern is the variable quality in the diamond coating, with reports that it does not cover the entire cone adequately. This shortfall in completion has led to frustration among some users. Additionally, a notable point of dissatisfaction is that only one side of the cones is coated with abrasive, which limits their utility for certain sharpening needs, particularly for the outside edges of gouges. Critics argue that this design oversight makes the kit less versatile, leading them to recommend alternative options, such as the "WAVE," which offers both convex and concave sharpening capabilities. On a positive note, the customer service from DMT has been praised, with one user reporting a favorable resolution to their concerns involving a return and exchange process. Overall, while the DMT DCKF Diamond Cone Kit Fine offers good performance for specific honing tasks, users are advised to weigh the potential limitations against their own sharpening requirements. **
