The Atoma replacement pad is the diamond abrasive sheet only - without the aluminum base plate. It is designed for sharpeners who already own the Atoma base and need to replace the worn diamond surface, or who want to mount the pad to their own flat plate or holder. The diamond abrasive is arranged in Atoma dot matrix pattern on a stainless steel sheet: the open dot layout clears swarf and slurry efficiently, reduces suction during stone flattening, and produces a more consistent scratch pattern than solid-surface diamond plates. Size: 210mm x 75mm x 1mm. The pad attaches to the Atoma base with adhesive.
The 140-grit pad is the most aggressive in the Atoma replacement range and the correct choice for sharpeners whose primary use is stone flattening and coarse stock removal. At 140 grit the pad cuts faster than any water stone and handles chip repair, bevel setting, and thinning work efficiently. It is the grit that gets the most use in a typical flattening session - aggressive enough to restore a dished stone quickly without requiring excessive passes. The dot matrix pattern clears swarf better at this grit than at finer grits where swarf volume is lower. Compatible with the standard Atoma 3x8 base plate. Also usable on custom flat holders of appropriate dimensions.
Care Instructions: Rinse under water after use to clear swarf. Store dry. The diamond surface will wear over time with heavy use - this is normal.
