Diamond Resin Soft Grinding Wheels

Diamond Resin Soft Grinding Wheels - Flexible Diamond Wheels for Cabbing and Pre-Polish

Our Diamond Resin Soft Grinding Wheels deliver superior surface finishes for cabbing, contour grinding, and pre-polishing on stone, glass, ceramics, and metals. The flexible resin bond conforms to curved and contoured workpiece surfaces - maintaining consistent diamond contact across domed cabochons and irregular profiles for smooth, even material removal. Available in 6" and 8" diameters with a grit range from 60 through 50,000.

Compatible Applications

  • Cabochon dome grinding - flexible resin bond conforms to dome profile for even, consistent grinding
  • Contour grinding - follows natural stone contours that rigid flat wheels cannot reach
  • Pre-polish on stone - agate, jasper, quartz, and hard lapidary stone surface preparation
  • Glass surface grinding - art glass and fused glass contour finishing
  • Ceramic and metal surface grinding - controlled flexible action on curved surfaces
  • Lapidary bench grinder use - 6" and 8" wheels for standard lapidary cabbing machines

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q: What is the difference between Resin Soft Grinding Wheels and REZ Resin Soft Wheels?
    A: Both use a flexible resin bond. The REZ wheels extend to 80,000 grit for mirror-quality final polish directly on the wheel. The standard Resin Soft Grinding Wheels cover 60 through 50,000 grit - ideal for the full grinding-to-pre-polish sequence before a separate polishing stage.
  • Q: Can resin soft wheels be used for cabochon dome grinding?
    A: Yes - the flexible resin bond conforms to the dome profile, maintaining full diamond contact across the curved surface for even, consistent grinding that hard flat wheels cannot achieve on domed cabochons.
  • Q: Should resin soft grinding wheels be used wet or dry?
    A: Wet use is recommended for coarse and medium grits. For finer grits (3,000+), a slightly damp surface often produces better finish quality than fully wet grinding.
