Diamond smoothing discs
SKU: 30-021
Important purchasing note: These smoothing discs are sold individually.
Hi-Tech Diamond diamond smoothing discs ensure rapid removal of scratches and high spots on cabochons. They also smooth large, flat areas in channel inlay work and are perfect for smoothing, refining and polishing a wide range of material such as glass, gemstones, synthetic material and even metal. These diamond smoothing discs come with our All-U-Need rock/mineral and Slant Cabber rock/mineral lap machines.
Using a proprietary technique, Hi-Tech Diamond diamond smoothing discs use a high concentration of premium diamond that is loaded onto each disc to provide an extremely aggressive grinding rate yet leaves an exceptionally smooth surface finish. Each disc is color-coded to easily determine what grit the disc is. These diamond smoothing discs are guaranteed to out-perform silicon carbide sanding discs and other diamond compound finishing systems. They do not crack or peel.
6"- and 8"-diameter diamond smoothing discs are available. All discs come with a 1/2" arbor hole and 3M pressure-sensitive adhesive backing that bonds to backing plates, flexible discs and polishing heads. Optional sponge pads may be inserted under these smoothing discs to create a soft touch for cabochon work.
Please note: You will need a backing plate to use these smoothing discs.
Customer Reviews
Making cab has become so much easier. Now that I’ve got these soft backing and my new smoothing discs making cabs is so much easier. And they come out beautifully. Thank you very much.
These are great. I purchased an extra set to use with the sponge backing pads for cabochon polishing.
Excellent for a final polish.
I got the flatlap and a couple Xtra discs about a month ago. I'm impressed with this machine. It has a huge learning curve and you should grab an 80, 220, and 3000 disc to achieve what you want. Plus I got a felt pad with cerium oxide which is a must of you want mirror finish on agates and jaspers. The 14000 diamond just didn't cut it. The 220 is essential as well as it gets out deep scratches from the 180. I am learning the details that aren't always mentioned. Next purchase, trim saw.
Over priced, doesn't last more than a few hours of use.
