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.
