6 in Flexible Diamond Sanding Disc for Glass, Ceramic, Porcelain & Stone

The 6" Flexible Diamond Sanding Disc is precision-engineered for aggressive grinding, smooth pre-polishing, and fine finishing across hard materials including glass, ceramics, porcelain, composites, natural stone, and lapidary minerals. Combining high-grade industrial diamond abrasives with a conformable flexible backing, this sanding disc adapts seamlessly to flat, curved, and contoured surfaces without gouging, chipping, or loss of cutting speed.

Key Features

• Conformable Flexible Backing: Flexes to match curved workpieces, domed cabochons, and sculpted profiles while maintaining uniform diamond contact.
• Premium Electroplated Diamond: High-density industrial diamond particles ensure fast stock removal, minimal frictional heat, and extended abrasive life.
• Multiple Backing Options: Available with Magnetic Backing Plate or Hook and Loop (Velcro) backing for swift, secure attachment to standard backing master laps.
• Wide Progressive Grit Selection: Comprehensive range from coarse 60 grit for rapid material leveling down to ultra-fine 1800 grit for scratch-free pre-polish luster.
• Wet or Dry Versatility: Optimized for wet grinding to suppress dust and maximize disc longevity; also suitable for light dry detailing.

Applications

• Glass & Crystal Fabrication: Edge finishing, bevel blending, kiln-shelf artifact removal, and cold-worked art glass leveling.
• Lapidary & Mineral Polishing: Contoured grinding and smoothing of agate, jasper, turquoise, jade, quartz, and petrified wood.
• Ceramic & Porcelain Detailing: Edge radiusing, foot ring leveling, and surface prep on pottery, porcelain slabs, and tile.
• Stone Restoration: Seam blending, chip repair, and edge refinement on granite, marble, and engineered stone.

Operating Guidelines

• Use a steady stream of water or mist coolant to keep the workpiece cool, prevent thermal micro-cracking, and wash away swarf.
• Apply light, even working pressure; allow the sharp diamond facets to cut freely without excessive force.
• Clean the disc surface with water after use and dry before storage to maintain magnetic or hook-and-loop adhesion.
