Item Name:
Covington Parts - 8" Diamond Sanding Disc (600)
SKU:
13-119
Description:
This is an 8 inch diamond sanding disc with a 600 grit rating. It is constructed as a flat, rigid lap disc with an industrial diamond abrasive surface bonded to the face of the disc. Diamond abrasives are used for coldworking glass because they cut cleanly and predictably, making them ideal for controlled shaping and surface refinement.
A 600 grit disc is typically used after coarse shaping steps to refine surfaces and reduce visible scratch depth. In lampworking and hot shop finishing, it is a common pre polish step for flattening and smoothing bases, cleaning up saw cuts, and preparing edges and faces for higher grits and final polish.
How it is used:
- Mount the disc to a compatible lap wheel or flat lap machine.
- Use water as coolant and lubricant while grinding to control heat and carry away glass swarf.
- Use light, even pressure and keep the glass moving to maintain flatness and avoid heat stress.
- Move to finer grits after the surface is uniformly matte and the 600 grit scratch pattern is consistent.
