Just got a set of 3 diamond hones (coarse to fine) on ebay and they
were advertised as needing only water as a lubricant which I'd seen
before and elsewhere. On the back of the packagaing it says to use
mineral oil. Mineral oil? Slight difference of opinion here. Who do
I believe? The (probably) Chinese manufacturer or the (possibly)
knowledgeable seller?

I sharpen dry and clean, then clean up the plate with soap and water
using an old toothbrush for scrubbing. I nigh onta lost some of my
fingerprints once when trying to wipe it clean by hand. ;)

No, I actually paid less. I guess I can start with water and see what
happens.

Just what the instructions said on the set I bought from Harbor Freight for
$9.99. (ITEM 36799-4VGA)
I hope you didn't pay more than that.

That sounds very macho, Owen.. *g*
I bought a bunch of the "harbor freight quality" diamond hone sets for $20.. I
think there were 10 sets, fine, med, course..
I use the fine ones dry on my lathe chisels and they seem to work fine..
(I use them dry because they're on my headstock with a magnet)
