Flattening Stone (Truing Stone)A sharpening stone flattening block is used to dress stones that are no longer flat enough to sharpen properly. A flat stone is indispensable for effective sharpening, especially with flat blades like chisels and plane irons. To quickly flatten a stone, one simply moves it over the surface of the flattening block with a circular or back and forth movement. To speed up the process still further, one can sprinkle a little Silicon carbide powder onto the block (see drawing). But if one uses the powder, the sharpening stone must be thoroughly washed with water afterwards.
