Item Name:
Nickel Plated Diamond Wheel 6" Grit 600
SKU:
DASW-W6006
Description:
The Nickel Plated Diamond Wheel 6" Grit 600 is a lapidary grinding tool manufactured using a proprietary nickel electroplating process that bonds industrial-grade diamond abrasive particles to a steel rim. The nickel coating provides a durable bond that holds the diamonds securely in place, ensuring consistent grinding performance over extended use. This wheel is designed for fine finishing and polishing work in glass and stone shaping, where a smoother surface finish is the primary goal. The grit 600 designation indicates a very fine diamond size, making it ideal for precision grinding and finishing work in coldworking applications. The wheel features a 1-inch bore diameter with reducing spacers included to accommodate various arbor shaft sizes, including 3/4-inch and 5/8-inch shafts.
How it is used:
- Used for fine finishing and polishing of glass pieces after initial rough grinding with coarser grits
- Ideal for achieving smooth, refined edges and surfaces on coldworked glass
- Suitable for final shaping and finishing of stone and lapidary work, including cabbing and grinding operations
- Works best when used wet to reduce dust and cool the wheel and workpiece
- Recommended for use on lapidary equipment with variable speed control to optimize grinding efficiency
- The fine grit makes it effective for achieving high-quality surface finishes before final polishing or frosting
Dimensions:
- 6" diameter
- 1.5" wide
- 1" arbor hole with standard bushings available
