Sharpening stone LF L9013306

A sharpening stone restores the cutting edge on slicer blades and mincer knives by removing a thin layer of metal through abrasion. The fine grain of this stone produces a smooth, polished finish that reduces friction and extends the time between sharpenings. The process relies on consistent pressure and controlled strokes to maintain the blade's original angle, ensuring even wear and a precise edge.

To use the stone, first secure the blade in its sharpening position on the appliance. Wet the stone with water or a light honing oil to prevent metal particles from clogging the surface. Hold the stone at the correct angle—typically matching the blade's bevel—and draw it across the edge in smooth, overlapping passes. Repeat the motion until the blade regains its sharpness, then rinse the stone to clear debris before storage.

This LF sharpening stone measures 50 mm in length, 8 mm in width, and 8 mm in thickness, a standard size for professional slicers and mincers. Its compact dimensions allow it to fit the sharpening guides of compatible machines without adjustment. The stone's abrasive material is bonded to a stable base, ensuring it remains flat and effective through repeated use.

Designed for regular maintenance, the stone removes burrs and minor nicks that develop during service. Its fine grit refines the edge rather than removing large amounts of metal, making it suitable for frequent touch-ups. Clean the stone after each use by rinsing under water and allowing it to dry thoroughly to prevent mould or deterioration.

Compatible with slicers and mincers from Berkel, Fama, Ironweed, Sirman, and Swedlhinghaus, this stone is listed under sharpening accessories in the professional catering equipment catalogue.
