Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: What does a textured grinding wheel do to stone?
  A: A textured grinding wheel creates a controlled surface pattern on stone — typically a consistent matte, satin, or stippled finish. This is used in decorative lapidary to create contrast effects (textured background with polished highlights), antique stone finishes, or to prepare a surface for selective polishing where only certain areas are brought to a mirror finish.
• Q: What is the difference between plastic hub and steel hub textured wheels?
  A: Plastic hub wheels ($70–$100) are lighter, more economical, and suitable for hobbyist and light production use. Steel hub wheels ($80–$115) are heavier, more rigid, and better suited for heavy-duty production grinding on harder materials. For most lapidary hobbyists, the plastic hub is sufficient; professionals working with hard stone daily benefit from the steel hub's durability.
• Q: What grit textured wheel should I use for decorative stone finishing?
  A: For a coarse, pronounced texture use 60–80 grit. For a medium satin texture use 100–220 grit. For a fine, subtle texture before selective polishing use 280–600 grit. The 1200 grit textured wheel produces a very fine surface pattern that is nearly smooth — useful for ultra-fine surface preparation.
• Q: Can I use a textured wheel on glass?
  A: Yes — diamond textured wheels work on glass to create frosted or etched surface effects. Use water cooling and light pressure. The textured pattern produces a consistent frosted appearance useful for decorative art glass and glass tile work.
• Q: Do textured wheels fit standard lapidary machines?
  A: Yes — all our textured wheels use a standard 5/8" arbor bore, compatible with most 6" and 8" bench grinders, lapidary grinder-polishers, and cabbing machines. Check your machine's arbor size before ordering.
