Item Name:
Covington Parts - 8" Diamond Sanding Disc Set with Plate
SKU:
13-227
Description:
This 8" diamond sanding disc set with plate is a lapidary-style grinding and smoothing system used for shaping and refining glass and other hard materials. The set is built around an 8 inch backing plate that mounts to a compatible lap or disc machine, with diamond abrasive discs that attach to the plate to provide controlled, even material removal. Diamond abrasives are used because they cut consistently on hard surfaces and hold up far longer than conventional sandpaper-style abrasives. In glasswork, this style of disc set is commonly used when you need flat, repeatable grinding for coldworking tasks such as truing edges, flattening contact points, refining seams, and preparing surfaces for subsequent finishing steps.
How it is used:
- Mount the included plate onto the appropriate disc/lap machine according to the machine manufacturer’s instructions.
- Attach the desired diamond sanding disc to the plate.
- Use light, steady pressure and keep the work moving to avoid heat buildup and uneven grinding.
- Progress through discs from coarser to finer grits to remove saw marks, true edges, and refine the finish before moving to final polish steps if desired.
