Norton India Medium Oil Slip Stones

87165	3/8" x 1-3/4" x 4-1/2"	$8.95

All oil stones, natural or synthetic, are porous in nature. The presence of an oil on the surface is required to keep the pores open, thereby permitting the stone to work effectively to suspend metal and abrasive particles from the stone's cutting surface. Oil applied to the surface is, however, absorbed into the stone and tends to pass out the underside. To offset this absorption, Norton India stones are pre-filled with oil at the factory. This exclusive Norton quality feature retards loading, saves time, and eliminates the necessity of pre-soaking the stone prior to use.
