How To Use Our Diamond Grinding Wheels
These diamond wheels are designed to be used dry and at slow speeds on your watchmaker's lathe. A light oil may be used to help with lubrication but providing you allow the wheel to cut naturally and do not run the wheel too quickly this isn't really necessary.
It is important to use the full face of the diamond wheel when sharpening and also to only use gentle pressure.
TIP: Work across the full width of the wheel
Resin bonded diamond wheels can be quickly trued using a silicon carbide brake controlled trueing device. However, every effort should be made to mount the wheel to within the required concentricity limits before using the trueing device.
How To Clean Your Diamond Grinding Wheels
If used on the correct materials then the wheel should rarely require cleaning, but if necessary, this can be done using a Diamond Dresser. Truing and dressing the wheel using this handy tool will level the surface area of your wheels and expose fresh diamond abrasive and produce a sharper and cleaner cutting wheel. Unlike single point diamond dressers, this tool is for dressing across the width of grinding wheels producing a flatter surface.

"I can't afford to be without it! Less time sharpening tools and more time turning. Why make life so difficult when this excellent tools can do it in half the time, with the added benefit of a perfect finish every time" - Keith Tibbs
"I put an accurate edge on my sapphire pallet stone with the diamond grinding wheel! I figured shaping the tiny sapphires accurately would be the hardest thing to achieve in the whole project. I'm just so so glad I found your website!"
