Diamond Resin REZ Soft Wheels: Precision for High-Volume Cabbing & Grinding

The Diamond Resin REZ Soft Wheels are engineered for aggressive material removal in commercial-grade cabbing, contour grinding, and pre-polishing. Designed for stone, glass, synthetics, and select metals, these wheels combine durability with precision for high-volume workflows.

Key Features

1. Aggressive Resin Bond

   • Sharp, diamond-embedded resin ensures rapid shaping and material removal, ideal for hard materials.

2. Medium-Density Foam Backing

   • Absorbs pressure and conforms to contours, eliminating flat spots and ensuring smooth finishes.

3. Lightweight Plastic Core

   • Reduces fatigue during extended use while maintaining structural integrity.

4. Universal Arbor Compatibility

   • 1" arbor with bushings for 1/2", 5/8", and 3/4" shafts, fitting most cabbing machines.

5. Multi-Material Versatility

   • Effective on gemstones, glass, and synthetics like corundum.

Benefits

• Scratch-Free Pre-Polishing: Foam cushioning adapts to irregular surfaces, perfect for delicate cabochons.

• Commercial Durability: 3–4x lifespan of standard wheels, ideal for high-volume studios.

• Heat Management: Water-cooled operation prevents thermal damage to heat-sensitive stones.

Applications

• Commercial Cabbing: Rapid shaping of agate, jasper, and opal.

• Contour Grinding: Refine curves on gemstone carvings or glass art.

• Synthetic Material Prep: Pre-polish lab-grown crystals or composite surfaces.

Break-In Guidelines

1. Water Cooling Required

   • Always use water to avoid overheating and extend wheel life.

2. Initial Smoothing

   • Run the wheel against Mohs 8–9 material (e.g., agate) to dull sharp resin peaks.

   • Avoid over-smoothing—remove only the sharpest points to prevent scratches.

3. Post-Break-In Care

   • Rinse residue after use and store in a dry environment.

Why Choose REZ Soft Wheels?

• High ROI: Longevity and speed cut downtime by 40% in commercial settings.

• Ergonomic Design: Lightweight core enhances control for intricate work.

• Scratch Resistance: Proper break-in ensures flawless finishes on jewelry-grade stones.
