thread_title:  How are artificial diamond stones made? 

message: I put up the merge notices as they are all used for the same thing and this article has a good start on other types of stones. What do you all think? Luigizanasi 01:45, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I suppose to be technically accurate, a diamond plate is not really a stone per se. However, if you think there's value in merging them, perhaps there might some common information that can be shared, I don't have a problem with it. No problem with whetstone as the way I understand it, the term is synonymous with oilstone. SilentC 22:30, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Diamond plate talk page

message: The section is full of errors. For example: Belgian Coticule stones are not the best of the natural stones. Coticule stones come in qualities but the gold standard for natural honing stones is German green hones - which are no longer on the market. Arkansas stones are completely different than Charney Forest stones - the latter being a honing slate. (you can argue that some of the Japanese stones are much better but that I don't know about). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mathison2006 (talk • contribs) 14:04, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

message: I searched for Diamond Plate because that's what I'm used to calling the metal sheets with diamond-shaped studs (Google Images) that are used on a lot of vehicles and in industrial areas for grip.  Is there another name for these plates, and if so should we put a disambiguation message at the top of Sharpening stone?  -- Mike Blackney 07:25, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Another name for that which is used here in Australia is checker plate (or sometimes chequer plate). Good point, not sure what the generic term for this stuff is. It really needs an article though to have a disambiguation link. SilentC 22:50, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  In the catalogs I've seen them called diamond stones, diamond whetstones, diamond honing stones, and diamond bench stones. 2nr Tom 18:14, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: After spending several hours researching diamond honing/sharpening stone catalogs and FAQs, Wiki is the first and only place I've seen the misleading term; "diamond plate" used.  Google here for example. The term also excludes the similar technology of "diamond rods" used to hone serrated knife edges and so forth.  Suggest removing this inaccurate, rarely used term that actually means something else.  --69.110.90.145 (talk) 12:17, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Other type of Diamond Plate 

message: I have never come accross one, and as far as I know there is only one facility making these whetstones, and what they say about it is this: "So we use black Brazilian or Portuguese natural schist as a base to glue the Coticule plates on. This way we have a sturdy whetstone that can handle several shocks!"

About the waterstone pic there... I am not sure why you undid my change, " It is a box for the whetstone, not another waterstone". The pic does show a waterstone with a wooden casing, instead of two waterstones.
