EZE-LAP Technical Information

EZE-LAP DIAMOND Products USA has been the pioneer and originator of diamond sharpeners since the early 1970's. Their patented diamond bonding process and modern technology allows EZE-LAP to produce the finest quality diamond products for the lowest possible price. The patented process of heat treatment that bonds the highest quality industrial grade diamond particles in a stainless alloy to a precision matched metal substrate, has been imitated, but has never come close to being duplicated. The resulting surface integrity from EZE-LAP process measures about 72 on the Rockwell C hardness scale. By utilising this technology, EZE-LAP has created a surface that works on carbide, ceramic, tool steel, hardened materials and the newer stainless steels that are used by most major tool and knife manufacturers today.

EZE-LAP boasts about its quality. They offer the flattest, most consistent production diamond tools available on the market today. Even after years of satisfaction EZE-LAP customers are still amazed at the quality and consistency of finishes that are achieved by the diamond tools. This kind of quality is achieved by a product entirely made in the U.S.A. and we take pride in bringing these products to you.

Models that have the designation "F" indicate fine grit after the numbers, i.e. (26F to 72F).
