Diamond Texture Grinding Wheels: High-Speed Grinding with Anti-Chip Design
Diamond Texture Grinding Wheels feature an innovative cross-hatch pattern that accelerates material removal while minimizing chipping on delicate materials like lapidary stones and glass. Designed for efficiency and precision, these wheels are ideal for both heavy-duty and light grinding tasks.
Key Features
-
Cross-Hatch Texture:
-
Fast Grinding: Interrupted surface design enhances stock removal rates and keeps the cutting action clean.
-
Anti-Chip Technology: Reduces edge chipping on brittle materials like glass and gemstones.
-
-
Hub Options:
-
Metal Hubs: Heavier for increased grinding force, ideal for powerful machines like the Titan (steel ring and core).
-
Plastic Hubs: Lighter weight for use with lower-powered grinders, reducing vibration.
-
-
Versatile Arbor System:
-
1" arbor with reducing bushings (1/2", 5/8", 3/4") for compatibility with most grinders.
-
-
Durable Diamond Grit:
-
Available in multiple grits (coarse to fine) for rough grinding, shaping, or finishing.
-
Applications
-
Lapidary Work: Grind and shape gemstones, quartz, or agate without chipping.
-
Glassworking: Smooth edges on stained glass or fused glass projects.
-
Industrial Use: Efficiently remove material from ceramics, composites, or hardened metals.

Why Choose Diamond Texture Wheels?
-
Speed & Precision: Cross-hatch texture cuts faster than smooth wheels while maintaining control.
-
Reduced Chipping: Ideal for fragile materials like glass or soft gemstones.
-
Flexibility: Choose metal hubs for power or plastic hubs for lighter machines.
-
Longevity: Diamond grit resists wear, outperforming traditional abrasive wheels.
Pro Tips
-
Machine Pairing: Use metal hubs on high-power grinders (e.g., Titan) for heavy material removal.
-
Speed Control: Adjust RPM based on material hardness—lower speeds for glass, higher for metals.
-
Maintenance: Clean debris with a soft brush and store in a dry environment.
