TOOLS & EQUIPMENT

Many woodworkers use water for wet

grinding and for water stones so rust is

a potential risk. Here is a product that

makes water rustless. You add 40ml to

a litre of water and use that mix for both

grinding and honing.

To test its efficacy I got out a couple of

my KD chisels (Kitchen Drawer chisels

that are dedicated to rough work such

as chopping off hardened glue) and did

the comparison between plain and the

green coloured water.

Each was honed up to a good edge

and then left without wiping dry for

24 hours. Sure enough rust appeared

on one but not the other with

treated water.

Next I ground them on a dry wheel

to get them hot, but not blue and

then dunked them in the two waters.

The product is not designed for this

use, but I thought some may be

tempted to try. However here I learned

that you won’t be using this for cooling

steel when dry grinding as it doesn’t

prevent rust in this use.

I have to state the obvious here. I have

been using waterstones for over 30

years now and never had a rust problem

because I have the habit of wiping them

dry, and rubbing in a little paraffin wax

as I finish each tool.

However if you or those you supervise

don’t have the habit of wiping

tools dry after sharpening then

this product could be a reassuring

solution for you.
