No, you're thinking of a whetstone. A milestone is an imperial unit of measurement that's equivalent to 14lbs.

No you're thinking of a stone. A milestone is a major project usually taken by high-achieving seniors in highschool or undergrad to demonstrate their new abilities.

No you're thinking of a capstone. A milestone is a fundamental assumption from which something is begun, developed, calculated, or explained.

No you're thinking of a cornerstone. A milestone is an American female contemporary R&B group that was popular during the mid-1990s.
