CabKing diamond REZ wheels are aggressive resin wheels used for cabbing, forming, contour grinding and pre-polishing stone, glass, synthetic material and even some metals. They are efficient wheels and well-suited for high volume commercial cabbing. REZ wheels are a mid-priced option with durability falling between CabKing's economical standard resin wheels and Diamond Pacific's top-shelf Nova Wheels.
These resin wheels come in 6" and 8" diameter sizes with a standard range of different grits to finish cabochons after initial shaping with ultra long-life Inland Sintered, top-shelf Diamond Pacific Galaxy, or standard CabKing plated diamond grinding wheels.
Construction
CabKing diamond REZ wheels are an excellent choice for high volume commercial cabbing. Using a proprietary technique, commercial grade diamonds are locked into a specially formulated resin-bonded belt that is mounted on a 1/4" thick medium density foam backing with plastic center core. The medium density foam backing absorbs pressure and provides a cushion so that the wheel conforms to your stone.
These wheels are manufactured with an aggressive resin bond, resulting in a rough texture with sharp points. Due to their textured nature, these wheels require a break-in period prior to working on your jewelry pieces. You can extend the life of your diamond wheels with the optional use of 412 Slick Lube diamond tool lubricant.
Selection and Compatibility
CabKing's REZ wheels have a 1" arbor hole and include needed wheel bushings to accommodate 1/2", 5/8" and 3/4" arbors. These sanding wheels can be installed on the Diamond Pacific Genie G2 Gem Maker (6"), Diamond Pacific Titan Gem Maker, (8") and CabKing 6 inch or CabKing 8 inch depending on your machine.
