Measuring 10 inches long by 2-11\/16 inches wide with a slim 3\/8 inch profile, this plate offers a sturdy, true bed for flattening whetstones, oilstones, and waterstones. Its dual-sided diamond surface (120 and 180 grit) enables smooth re-leveling and controlled finishing, making it a practical addition for workshops that demand consistent planarity during maintenance tasks on axes, hatchets, machetes, spades, and shears.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTwo-Sided Versatility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two grit sides are designed for distinct tasks, giving you flexibility without swapping tools.
