Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q: What types of diamond faceting laps are available?
A: We offer four main types: Sintered laps (diamond bonded throughout for maximum durability), Standard laps (flat surface for consistent facet angles), Channel laps (grooved for superior coolant flow), and Ripple laps (wave-pattern for reduced friction and chatter). -
Q: Which faceting lap type is best for beginners?
A: Standard faceting laps are a great starting point for beginners. They provide a predictable flat surface and are available in a full grit range, making it easy to progress through shaping, refining, and pre-polishing stages. -
Q: What grit sequence should I use for faceting a gemstone?
A: Start with coarse (60–260 grit) for initial shaping, move to medium (325–600) for facet refinement, then fine (1200–3000) for pre-polish, and finish with ultra-fine (8000–14000+) before moving to a polishing lap. -
Q: What is the difference between channel and ripple faceting laps?
A: Channel laps have straight grooves that direct coolant flow and flush swarf away efficiently — ideal for extended wet faceting sessions. Ripple laps have a wave-pattern surface that reduces friction and stone chatter, making them better suited for delicate or fine faceting work. -
Q: Are these faceting laps compatible with my machine?
A: Our faceting laps are available in standard 6-inch and 8-inch diameters compatible with most faceting machines. Always verify your machine’s spindle size and lap diameter before ordering. Browse All Diamond Faceting Laps →
