PIEDRAS PARA AFILAR, AFILAR
CBN (nitruro de boro cúbico) es un nombre genérico, también existen otros nombres para este material, según el fabricante: borazon, elbor, cubonita, etc.
El CBN (nitruro de boro cúbico) es el segundo material más duro después del diamante y tiene la mejor relación calidad-precio para procesar aceros, en comparación con otros materiales, como el diamante, el carburo de silicio o el óxido de aluminio.
Debido a sus especificaciones de alta resistencia, el CBN se puede utilizar en seco sin lubricante. Esto convierte al CBN en la piedra de afilar más limpia disponible.

Metal bond, may require lubricant.
Grain size: Please select from the list, or read Technical information.
The finest grain size is 0.5/0 micron (fine polishing) , the coarsest - 200/160 micron (rough grinding).
In grain selection window you see grain sizes according to standards:
MICRON=MESH(GRIT)=FEPA

Do not waste your money on cheaper stones with lower/unknown concentration.
Flat solid block, abrasive grains are distributed evenly across the stone.

Preparation of sharpening stones
Stones with grits finer 3 microns either require preparation (dressing), or they will be self-polished after sharpening of 30-50 knives. Then they will be of gold color and work well.
This is common issue for all manufacturers: abrasive grains are covered with bond, so you need to "release" them.
"Stone preparation" is not available because of war.

Use and cleaning of CBN sharpening stones
Use any comfortable oil (baby, olive..) to prevent glazing. If glazed - clean with alcohol and toothbrush.
Maintenance is only needed every year or two.
In 1-2 years you may need to flatten stone, 20 mins with Ferric chloride (FeCl):
- 10 mins setting in 25% mixture (25 gr FeCl per 75 gr of water),
- 10 mins polish movements (carefully draw "8") on glass plate.
There are other methods (with SiC powders..), but method with FeCl, on glass plate is the cheapest and simplest.
You may buy 100 gr. of FeCl in dimensions selection window (click also any grain size to select it). I sell it if you buy a stone.
