8 Inch Diamond Faceting Discs for Glass

Transform your glasswork with precision-engineered diamond faceting discs designed specifically for glass artists, lampworkers, and beadmakers. These professional-grade 8 inch discs deliver consistent, controlled material removal and flawless finishes across all stages of your faceting process.

Professional Results, Every Time

Our diamond faceting discs feature industrial-grade diamond particles uniformly distributed across a durable metal substrate, ensuring even wear and predictable performance throughout the disc's life. Whether you're shaping sculptural elements, creating precise bevels, or achieving mirror-smooth finishes on borosilicate or soft glass, these discs provide the control and reliability your work demands.

Complete Grit Range for Every Stage

Coarse Grits (60-120): Rapid stock removal and initial shaping. Perfect for establishing facet angles, removing excess material, and rough forming. Ideal when you need to work quickly without sacrificing control.
Medium Grits (200-400): Refine your work and remove scratches left by coarser grits. These transitional grits smooth surfaces while maintaining efficient material removal, preparing your piece for final finishing.
Fine Grits (600-1200): Pre-polishing stage that eliminates visible scratches and creates a semi-gloss finish. Essential for achieving professional results before final polishing.
Extra Fine Grits (1500-8000): Final polishing stage that produces crystal-clear, optical-quality finishes. These ultra-fine grits bring out the brilliance and clarity your glass deserves.

Key Features

  • 8 inch diameter fits standard flat lap machines and provides ample working surface
  • Compatible with both borosilicate (33 COE) and soft glass (90, 96, 104 COE)
  • Long-lasting diamond coating outlasts traditional abrasives
  • Water-cooled operation prevents heat damage and extends disc life
  • Consistent performance from first use to last

What You'll Need

These discs work with flat lap machines and require water as a coolant during operation. For best results, work progressively through the grits—never skip more than one grit level—to achieve flawless, scratch-free finishes.

Perfect For

  • Faceting beads and marbles
  • Creating flat, polished surfaces on sculptural work
  • Beveling edges and creating decorative cuts
  • Shaping and finishing borosilicate components
  • Achieving optical clarity on display pieces
