Galaxy Convex Carver Wheels
Diamond Pacific Galaxy diamond carving wheels are convex shaped to help the gemstone sculptor grind challenging grooves and curves in stone. Use Diamond Pacific Galaxy rounded-faced grinding wheels when doing gem carving, lapidary intarsia, fantasy carving, channel carving work, custom body jewelry, stained glass, or many other applications that require curved edges.
Construction
Diamond Pacific Galaxy Carver wheels offer top-shelf durability and lifespan due to their quality decades-proven construction. Precision-graded industrial diamond is bonded by an extremely hard alloy nickel plating to a heavy durable steel ring mounted to a tough glass-filled polyester core. Consistent diamond wheel manufacturing offers a smooth, quiet running wheel for nearly any brand lapidary arbor.
Diamond Pacific Galaxy Carver wheel construction means they're clean and easy on your water supply since the wheels don't break down and wear away.Galaxy Carving Wheels must be used with water, but you only need a small amount to keep the wheels and stone wet, cool, and to minimize the rock dust. You can extend the life of your diamond wheels with the optional use of 412 Slick Lube diamond tool lubricant.
