Diamond Grit Recommendations and Applications

60 Grit Diamond (Extra Extra Coarse)

• Usage: Not recommended for most users due to its excessive aggressiveness.

• Concerns: Can cause large chips and fractures in faceting rough.

100 Grit Diamond (Extra Coarse)

• Usage: Ideal for quickly removing large amounts of material.

• Recommendation: Useful for most people eventually but not essential for beginners or those not cutting larger stones.

• Notes: Leaves chips, especially when new, but does not excessively chip like 60-grit laps.

180 Grit Diamond (Medium Coarse)

• Usage: Not commonly recommended.

• Alternative: A worn-in 260-grit lap is generally a better option for most users.

• Notes: Some users prefer this grit, but it serves as an intermediate between 100 and 260 grits.

260 Grit Diamond (Coarse)

• Usage: Recommended as the standard roughing-in lap for almost everyone.

• Performance: Cuts fast while leaving a coarse but clean finish. Works even better once worn in.

360 Grit Diamond (Medium Coarse)

• Usage: Not highly recommended.

• Concerns: Tends to cut too slowly once it breaks in.

• Alternative: A worn-in 260-grit lap performs much better.

600 Grit Diamond (Medium)

• Usage: Ideal for cutting materials like Quartz and Beryl.

• Recommendation: A good lap for most users, especially when paired with a 1200-grit Nu Bond composite lap for pre-polishing.

• Notes: For materials like Tourmaline and Garnets, this grit can often be skipped in favor of a worn-in 1200-grit lap.

1200 Grit Diamond (Fine)

• Usage: A versatile, all-around working lap for most faceting needs.

• Recommendation: Suitable for almost all materials, except for Quartz and Beryl.

• Notes: Steel laps at this grit tend to start slightly coarse and need to be worn in for optimal performance.
