收藏: REZ Diamond Resin Soft Wheels
REZ Diamond Resin Soft Wheels - Flexible Diamond Wheels for Curved Surface Grinding and PolishingDiamond REZ Resin Soft Wheels use a flexible resin bond that conforms to curved stone surfaces, cabochon domes, and contoured lapidary profiles - delivering smooth, low-heat grinding and polishing that rigid hard wheels cannot achieve on curved workpieces. With an extraordinary grit range from 60 through 80,000, a single REZ wheel type takes you from initial coarse shaping all the way through to a mirror-quality final polish on stone, glass, and gemstones. Available in 6" and 8" diameters with multiple backing options.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q: What makes REZ Resin Soft Wheels different from hard diamond wheels?
A: REZ wheels use a flexible resin bond that conforms to curved stone surfaces - maintaining full diamond contact across domed cabochons, curved profiles, and contoured lapidary work. Hard wheels only contact the highest point of a curved surface, leaving uneven grinding. REZ wheels are the preferred choice for cabochon dome finishing and any curved surface work.
-
Q: Can REZ wheels really go from 60 grit all the way to 80,000 grit?
A: Yes - the REZ resin bond is available across an extraordinary grit range. Coarse REZ wheels (60-180 grit) handle initial shaping, while ultra-fine REZ wheels (30,000-80,000 grit) deliver mirror-quality polish directly on the wheel without needing a separate polishing lap or compound.
-
Q: Should REZ resin soft wheels be used wet or dry?
A: Wet use is recommended for coarse and medium grits. For ultra-fine polishing grits (8,000+), some lapidary artists prefer a slightly damp or near-dry surface for the best final polish quality.
-
Q: What backing option should I choose?
A: Choose Magnetic Backing for the fastest grit changes on a magnetic master lap system. Choose PSA Backing for standard flat lap machines. Choose Master Lap if you need the complete backing plate assembly. Choose 1/4-20 Screwback for direct spindle mounting on compatible machines.
