8" x 1.5" 360 Grit Diamond Hard Flat Grinding Wheel for Hard Materials

The 8" x 1.5" 360 Grit Diamond Hard Flat Grinding Wheel combines a solid seamless steel body with precision electroplated diamond abrasive. Engineered for micro-scratch smoothing, facet pre-forming, and clean edge finishing on gemstones, rocks, glass, ceramics, and porcelain. Provides true concentric rotation and vibration-free grinding on standard 8" cabbing machines.

Key Features

• Solid Seamless Steel Core: Heavy-duty steel body ensures true-running concentricity and eliminates wheel vibration.
• Precision Electroplated Diamond Rim: Uniform 360-grit diamond plating delivers fine pre-polish finishing, establishing an ultra-smooth base for resin laps and soft wheels.
• True Flat Profile: Perfectly flat grinding face prevents dishing or crowning during shaping and faceting pre-forming.
• Universal 1" Arbor: Standard 1-inch inner bore fits standard lapidary cabbing machines (compatible with 3/4", 5/8", and 1/2" reducer bushings).

Applications

• Lapidary & Gemstones: Fine pre-polishing and facet pre-forming of agate, jasper, quartz, jade, and petrified wood cabochons.
• Glass Cold Working: Ultra-fine edge smoothing, satin pre-polish finishing, and scratch removal on art glass and thick crystal slabs.
• Ceramic & Porcelain: Precision smoothing and micro-finishing on technical ceramics, porcelain tiles, and mineral specimens.

Operating Guidelines

• Continuous Water Coolant Required: Always operate with adequate water flow to flush grinding swarf and keep diamond particles cool.
• Apply light, consistent workpiece pressure across the wheel face to prevent localized grooving.
