Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q: What backing type should I choose for my flat lap machine?
    A: Choose magnetic backing for machines with a magnetic platen (most common on Genie and Titan models), Velcro for hook-and-loop platens, or PSA (pressure-sensitive adhesive) for permanent mounting. Check your machine’s platen type before ordering.
  • Q: What grit sequence should I use for lapidary flat grinding?
    A: Start with 60 or 120 grit for shaping, then progress through 240, 400, 600, 800, 1200, 1800. Follow with resin diamond smoothing pads and finish with cerium oxide for a mirror result.
  • Q: Can diamond sanding discs be used wet?
    A: Yes — wet use is strongly recommended for stone and glass. Water cools the disc and workpiece, flushes swarf, and significantly extends disc life. Never run diamond discs dry on stone or glass.
  • Q: What is the largest disc size available?
    A: We stock discs up to 24" (600mm) diameter for large flat lap machines and industrial disc sanders. Custom sizes are available on request.
  • Q: How long do diamond sanding discs last?
    A: With proper wet use, diamond discs typically last 20–60 hours of active grinding depending on material hardness, grit, and applied pressure. Harder stones like quartz and granite will wear discs faster than softer materials.
