Gator 6061GA Aluminum Oxide Combination Sharpening Stone

Product Description

The GATOR 6061GA is a dual-sided aluminum oxide combination sharpening stone designed for restoring and maintaining edges on woodcutting tools. One face carries a coarse grit for initial edge setting and removing nicks, while the opposite face features a fine finishing grit for honing a clean, sharp edge. At 2 inches wide and 6 inches long, it provides a stable surface for controlled sharpening strokes. The aluminum oxide abrasive is a durable, hard-wearing material well suited to frequent shop use by carpenters, woodworkers, and tradespeople who keep hand tools in working condition.

This combination stone is suited for sharpening chisels, plane irons, drawknives, and similar woodcutting hand tools in residential or commercial workshop settings. The two-grit format eliminates the need to switch between separate stones during a single sharpening session. It is a practical bench stone for both rough reconditioning work and finish honing in one compact unit.

Key Features

• Dual-sided design: coarse grit on one face, fine finishing grit on the other
• Aluminum oxide abrasive construction for long-lasting wear resistance
• Compact 2 x 6 inch profile fits standard bench stone holders and shop layouts

Installation Notes

Place the stone on a non-slip surface or secure it in a bench stone holder before use. Apply honing oil or water as a lubricant to float swarf and protect the stone surface during sharpening. Keep fingers clear of the cutting edge being worked. Clean the stone after each use to prevent pore clogging and maintain consistent abrasive performance.
