 Metal Bonded Diamond Grinding Disc

The coarse grit discs (100 grit) are used where large amounts of material are removed. This could be removing the saw marks from a surface or grinding the part to shape. Because of the large diamond size, the grinding rate is high and the disc life is long. 

The medium grit discs (200 grit) are used to quickly improve the surface finish left by the coarse grit and prepare the sample for the finer grinding. It also extends the life of the fine grit discs because it leaves a smoother surface finish. 

The fine grit discs (600 grit) quickly removes the 200-230 grit finish and prepares the surface for pre-polish. Diamond compound can be used as a pre-polish (8,000 mesh) or final polish (14,000-50,000 mesh) on the polish plate.

Diamond compound is available in syringes that make it easy to apply. Along the sides of the syringes are graduated marks that let you know how much to use. Apply the compound in tiny dots. After the dots have been applied, spread them evenly across the pad with your finger tip. To finish spreading the diamond, add a few drops of diamond extender fluid. Again, spread it with your finger tip.

Rotate the part being ground and check frequently for overheating. You can make the work surface cooler by adding an occasional drop of extender fluid and moving the part toward the center of the plate. Recharge the plate only when necessary. The diamond lasts a long time.
