Using diamond stones

Do you have to put them in a file guide or can you just do it free hand?

If your file guide can open enough to mount them.. for sure..

I've been doing that for ages to touch my edges up with a bit of precision..

They tend to lose their abrasive qualities after a few passes but you can freshen them up on a belt sander with a bit of care... so they don't end up all crooked etc...

I just freehand the stone. Haven't use diamons stones but I use regular deburring stone to freshen up the edges when they dull or after a filing. My bevel guide won't fit my stone. I also use freehand to remove hardened nicks.

Mostly personal preference though with your comfort level of precision.
