Diamond Resin REZ Nova Grinding Wheel

Highly effective resin wheels, REZ Diamond Soft Lapidary Wheels, are specially designed for cabbing, contour grinding, pre-polishing, and forming stone, glass, synthetic materials, and certain metals. These REZ Diamond Soft Lapidary Wheels excel in high-volume commercial cabbing thanks to their efficiency and effectiveness. We choose our REZ Diamond Soft Lapidary Wheels for commercial cabbing because we manufacture them using a proprietary technique that securely locks commercial-grade diamonds into a specially formulated resin-bonded belt. We then mount this belt on a medium-density foam backing with a plastic center core, providing a cushion that allows the wheel to conform to your stone and absorb pressure.
These wheels possess an aggressive resin bond that results in a rough texture with sharp points, rendering them perfect for heavy-duty use. However, due to their napped nature, these wheels necessitate a break-in period before you can use them on jewelry pieces. You can also employ these wheels on other cabbing machine brands since they feature 1" arbor holes and come with bushings to accommodate 1/2", 5/8", and 3/4" arbors.

Features:

  1. Resin Coating: These lapidary wheels have a resin-coated design. The resin serves as a bonding agent for the abrasive material, which in this case is commercial-grade diamonds. This resin bond ensures that the diamonds remain firmly attached to the wheel during the grinding and shaping process.

  2. Commercial Grade Diamonds: High-quality commercial grade diamonds are embedded within the resin coating. Diamonds are renowned for their exceptional hardness and abrasive properties, making them ideal for cutting and grinding hard materials like stones, glass, and metals.

  3. Medium Density Foam Backing: The wheels are mounted on a medium-density foam backing with a plastic center core. This backing is designed to absorb pressure and provide cushioning. It allows the wheel to conform to the contours of the stone or material being worked on, enhancing precision and reducing the risk of damage.

  4. Aggressive Resin Bond: The wheels are manufactured with an aggressive resin bond, resulting in a rough texture with sharp points. This abrasive surface is well-suited for efficient grinding and shaping tasks.

  5. Arbor Hole Options: All wheels come with 1" arbor holes and include bushings to accommodate 1/2", 5/8", and 3/4" arbors. This versatility ensures compatibility with various cabbing machines.

  6. Color-Coded for Easy Grit Identification: The wheels are color-coded, making it easy to identify the grit size at a glance. This feature enhances efficiency and accuracy when selecting the appropriate wheel for a particular task.

Applications:

  1. Cabbing: These wheels are designed for cabbing, which involves shaping and polishing gemstone cabochons. They are efficient tools for the initial shaping and grinding stages of the cabbing process.

  2. Forming: The wheels can be used for forming or shaping gemstones and other materials into desired shapes and sizes.

  3. Contour Grinding: They are suitable for precision contour grinding, allowing lapidary artists to create intricate designs and shapes on their workpieces.

  4. Pre-Polishing: Before the final polishing stage, pre-polishing is crucial to remove scratches and imperfections from the surface of the stone. These resin-coated wheels are effective for pre-polishing tasks.

  5. Materials: In addition to gemstones, these wheels can be used on glass, synthetic materials, and some metals, expanding their versatility for various crafting and jewelry-making applications.

  6. High Volume Commercial Cabbing: Notably, these wheels are well-suited for high-volume commercial cabbing operations. They are designed to withstand heavy use and provide consistent results, making them a reliable choice for commercial lapidary work.

Usage Notes:

  1. Break-In Period: These wheels, due to their aggressive resin bond and rough texture, require a break-in period before achieving optimal performance. During this period, the sharp points will wear down, resulting in a smoother grinding surface.

  2. Compatibility: They are compatible with various cabbing machine brands, offering flexibility in equipment choices.
