is the ideal tool for the professional cutter as well as the serious hobbyist. Diamond top plates with a thickness of only 1.0mm are simple to apply to backing plates. All diamond top plates are available with or without PSA, magnetic backing, or both. When it comes to rough and fine grinding of precious gem materials, diamond discs are available in a wide range of mesh sizes for use on a variety of materials. Applications include faceting material, rough and fine grinding on faceting material, and general lapidary grinding when precision is required. Because of the precise backing plate and the controlled concentration of diamond, consistent grinding and surface finishes can be achieved with minimal variation. Diamond discs can be used to fine-tune a precision grinding surface.
For the money, it’s all right. I purchased two because I anticipated that these low-cost Chinese laps would wear out quickly. I was completely correct. However, they are significantly less expensive than those made in the United States in this coarse mesh size.
