8"x1-1/2" 280Grit Lapidary Sintered Diamond Wheel

Sintered Diamond Wheels are high-quality grinding  tools specifically designed for use on vertical cabbing machines. These wheels feature a metal-bonded and sintered diamond matrix that is 5mm deep, ensuring that new cutting points are continuously exposed as the wheels are used. This makes them ideal for lapidary work, including gem grinding and shaping. Below is a detailed overview of their features, benefits, and applications:

Key Features:

1. Metal-Bonded Sintered Diamond Matrix:

   • The Sintered Diamond Wheels feature a 5mm deep metal-bonded diamond matrix, which continuously exposes new cutting points as the wheels wears, ensuring long-lasting performance.

2. Dressable for Aggressive Cutting:

   • These wheels can be dressed to expose additional diamond crystals for a more aggressive cut. However, dressing is not always necessary if you follow a "side to side" pattern during grinding to ensure even wear.

3. Dynamically Balanced:

   • The wheels are dynamically balanced at the factory to ensure concentricity, resulting in smooth and quiet grinding .

4. Versatile Arbor Sizes:

   • These wheels come with a 1" arbor and bushings to adapt to 1/2", 5/8", or 3/4" shafts, making them compatible with a wide range of machines.

1. Durable and Long-Lasting:

   • The sintered diamond matrix ensures that the wheels last longer than traditional grinding wheels , providing consistent performance over time.

2. Precision Grinding:

   • These wheels deliver precise and smooth grinding , making them ideal for detailed lapidary work.

3. Versatile and Adaptable:

   • With 1" arbor and bushings for multiple shaft sizes, these wheels are compatible with a wide range of machines.

4. Smooth and Quiet Operation:

   • The dynamic balancing ensures smooth and quiet grinding , reducing vibration and noise during use.

5. Professional-Grade Quality:

   • These wheels are designed for professional use, offering durability, precision, and versatility for high-quality results.

Usage Tips:

• Grit Size Recommendation:

  • When ordering Sintered Diamond Wheels, it is generally recommended to choose one grit size larger compared to plated or brazed parts for optimal performance.

• Grinding Pattern:

  • To ensure even wear and avoid frequent dressing, use a "side to side" pattern when grinding.

• Lubrication:

  • Always use a lubricant (such as water or oil) during grinding to enhance the wheel's performance and lifespan.

Conclusion:

Sintered Diamond Wheels are a professional-grade option for lapidary work, offering durability, precision, and versatility. Whether you're a professional or a hobbyist, these wheels are an excellent investment for achieving high-quality results in gem grinding, shaping, and polishing tasks.
