The CKTG 140 Grit Diamond Stone Flattening Plate is a versatile, fast-cutting tool designed to keep your sharpening stones flat and working at their best. Measuring 8 in x 2.75 in, this plate offers plenty of usable surface area for routine stone maintenance, chamfering stone edges, and quick corrective work. The 140-grit diamond surface strikes an ideal balance - aggressive enough to flatten efficiently, yet refined enough to leave stones cutting cleanly and evenly.
This plate is especially well suited for regular pre-sharpening touch-ups, making it easy to maintain stone flatness with just a quick 10–15 second pass. Users consistently note how effective it is for truing mid- and lower-grit stones without over-smoothing them, and many also use the back of the plate as a reference surface to check edge profiles. It’s a practical, budget-friendly alternative to higher-priced diamond plates and an essential tool for anyone sharpening regularly.
Care Instructions: Splash water onto both the plate and stone before use. Mark the stone with a pencil and rub in circular or cross-hatch motions until the marks are removed. Rinse the plate after use to clear swarf and dry thoroughly before storage. Use light pressure and allow the diamonds to do the work.

These are priced as they should be and are perfect for truing stones. It does leave scratch marks at first but after a little breaking in my 6000 looks perfect. The back is also great for checking edge profile since it's so flat. Thank you, CKTG!

This was my first diamond plate and I was a little skeptical, but it's served me very well. It's handled a ton of lapping quite efficiently and I've sharpened with it too. For about the price of those small Naniwa SiC lapping stones it's a great value. If the Atoma seems a bit pricey go for it. Thanks to Mark for finding and offering it.

Got this in the combo pack the website offers. Great value considering the cost. I wasn't crazy about using it for thinning or setting a bevel. It did work for bread-knifing though. all that said, it glazes up a bit quickly. All in all solid product

To be honest I thought there might be some compromise with such an inexpensive plate, but I used it today for the first time and it cut aggressively but left a beautiful smooth, flat surface on a King 1000 workhorse stone. Very pleased. I might get a fancier plate for the higher-grit stones but for the mid- and lower-grit ones you work hard this should be all you need.
