6"x1-1/2" 80Grit Sintered Metal Bonded Diamond Grinding Wheel

Metal-Bonded & Sintered Diamond Wheels: Professional-Grade Tools for Vertical Cabbing Machines

Metal-Bonded and Sintered Diamond Wheels are engineered for precision, durability, and aggressive material removal in professional lapidary and industrial settings. Designed for vertical cabbing machines, these wheels feature a deep diamond matrix and advanced bonding technology to deliver consistent performance on hard materials like gemstones, glass, and ceramics.

Key Features

1. Deep Diamond Matrix:

   • Full 1mm Diamond Depth: Exposes fresh cutting points as the wheel wears, extending lifespan.

   • Sintered Bonding: Durable metal bond retains diamonds securely, allowing for dressing to refresh cutting surfaces.

2. Dynamic Balancing:

   • Factory-balanced for smooth, vibration-free operation, critical for precision grinding.

3. Arbor Adaptability:

   • 1" Arbor with Reducing Bushings (1/2", 5/8", 3/4") fits most vertical cabbing machines.

4. Grit Sizing Tip:

   • Order one grit size larger than plated/brazed wheels for equivalent cutting aggression.

Applications

• Gemstone Shaping: Rapidly grind agate, quartz, and sapphire into cabochons or facets.

• Glass Beveling: Smooth edges on stained glass or fused glass with minimal chipping.

• Industrial Grinding: Remove material from ceramics, composites, or hardened metals.

Why Choose Sintered/Metal-Bonded Wheels?

• Longevity: Outlast plated or resin-bonded wheels due to deeper diamond layers.

• Customizable Aggression: Dress the wheel to expose fresh diamonds for renewed cutting power.

• Even Wear: Use a "side-to-side" grinding pattern to maintain uniform wear and avoid frequent dressing.

Technical Specifications

Pro Tips

• Dressing: Use a diamond dressing stick to refresh the wheel surface for aggressive cuts.

• Cooling: Pair with a water cooling system to reduce heat and extend wheel life.

• Grit Selection: For sintered wheels, choose ~100 grit for tasks where plated wheels use ~80 grit.

Maintenance & Safety

• Inspect Regularly: Check for uneven wear or damage.

• Storage: Keep wheels dry and protected from impact.

• Safety Gear: Wear goggles and gloves during operation.
