Often I do at the bench but usually never in the field unless I'm near the pickup and have WD-40.

Another use of my hand diamond stones is to touch up carbide cutters used in the mill or drill press and High Speed Steel lathe cutters. A very light oil seems to make this go better but I always have to use a lot of paper towels to wipe and look while I'm working.

I am the paper towel monster, if I run out of those the shop get's locked up and I go to town.
