Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q: Do diamond felt polishing wheels require additional polishing compound?
    A: Diamond felt polishing wheels are impregnated with diamond particles throughout the felt matrix and can be used without additional compound for most lapidary polishing applications. For faster material removal or to refresh a worn wheel, applying a small amount of diamond compound (matching the wheel's grit level) to the wheel surface will restore cutting action and extend wheel life.
  • Q: What arbor size do I need for my bench grinder or lapidary machine?
    A: These wheels are available in 5 standard arbor hole sizes: 1/2", 5/8", 3/4", 1", and 32mm. Check your machine's spindle diameter before ordering. Most standard bench grinders use 1/2" or 5/8" arbors; lapidary machines commonly use 5/8" or 1" arbors. If your machine uses a different size, arbor adapters are available in our Machine Accessories collection.
  • Q: What width felt polishing wheel should I choose?
    A: Choose 20–25mm width for small cabochons, jewelry stones, and narrow edge polishing where precision contact is important. Choose 30mm for general lapidary polishing of standard-size cabochons. Choose 40–50mm for large stones, slab surfaces, and industrial-scale finishing where maximum surface coverage is needed.
  • Q: Can diamond felt polishing wheels be used wet?
    A: Yes — these wheels are rated for both wet and dry use. Wet use with water cooling is recommended for extended polishing sessions on hard gemstones and glass, as it reduces heat buildup, extends wheel life, and improves polishing consistency. Dry use is suitable for light finishing and buffing applications.
  • Q: What gemstones and materials can diamond felt polishing wheels polish?
    A: Diamond felt wheels are effective on a wide range of materials including agate, jasper, quartz, opal, semi-precious stones, glass, ceramics, marble, and granite. The diamond impregnation makes them suitable for hard materials (Mohs 6–9) that would quickly wear out conventional felt wheels used with softer compounds like cerium oxide or tin oxide.
