Sintered Diamond Wheelsare high-quality wheels designed for use on vertical cabbing machines. These wheels feature a metal-bonded and sintered diamond matrix that is 5mm deep, which exposes new cutting points as the wheels are used. This makes them ideal for lapidary work, including gem grinding and shaping.One of the benefits of sintered diamond wheels is that they can be dressed to expose additional crystals for a more aggressive cut. However, dressing is not always necessary if you follow a "side to side" pattern when grinding to ensure even wear. Additionally, these wheels are dynamically balanced at the factory to ensure concentricity for smooth and quiet grinding.When ordering sintered diamond tools, it is generally recommended to order one grit size larger as compared to plated or brazed parts. These wheels come with a 1" arbor and bushingsto adapt to 1/2, 5/8, or 3/4 inch shafts. They are available in a variety of grits and sizes, including popular options like Lapidary Diamond Wheels, Diamond Pacific Galaxy Wheels, 8 inch Diamond Grinding Wheel, 4 inch Diamond Wheel, Diamond Pacific Genie Wheels, and Gem Grinding Wheel.Overall, Sintered Diamond Wheels are a professional-grade option for lapidary work, offering durability, precision, and versatility. Whether you are a professional or hobbyist, these wheels are a great investment for achieving high-quality results.
