- Used to hone and maintain the sharp edges of instruments after they have been reshaped
- It is the companion to the coarse Transformation Stone
Benefits
- Maintains blade shape and edge:
- The fine grit is ideal for daily sharpening and maintaining the instrument's shape and sharp edge, unlike the coarser T062 which is used for reshaping
- Removes less steel:
- Its micro-fine ceramic composition removes far less steel from the instrument than coarser stones, which helps instruments last significantly longer
- Consistent results:
- Using a specific fine stone like the T061 helps practitioners achieve a precise cutting edge every time, especially when paired with the PDT Gleason Guide
- Time and cost-effective:
- By maintaining instruments, dental professionals can save money on costly resharpening services and reduce the time and stress of the sharpening process
