260 Grit 5 Inch Diamond Wheel for Graver Shaping

Coarse 5 Inch Diamond Disk for Graver Shaping

260 Grit diamond surfaces are best for shaping blanks and repairing badly fractured tools. Course grit will quickly reshape high speed steel or carbide tools. 600 and 1200 grit surfaces should be used for finishing, sharpening, and/or polishing cutting surfaces.

This 5 inch / 125 mm diamond wheel works on all major powered hones designed for 5 inch diamond wheels for shaping and sharpening gravers for jewelers and hand engravers. It can also be used without a hone.

These disks are 1mm thick steel electroplated with 260 grit diamond dust and a ½ inch / 12.75mm arbor hole.

Safety Warnings:

Be sure to attach the wheel to the hone with the manufacturer’s recommended locking bolts. Users may need to use washers for spacers with locking bolts for units that normally accept ½ inch thick wheels.

Use extreme caution when used with powered hones, especially at speeds over 750 rpm. Edges are sharp and can easily cut hands, especially at high speeds.

When used with powered hones, friction will create heat quickly, especially at high speeds. Be careful when shaping and sharpening gravers to avoid burns.

Use proper dust collection and/or safety masks when grinding with powered hones. Inhaling or ingesting metallic dust, especially carbide dust, can cause injury or death at high and/or prolonged exposure levels.
