SUVA Shards Sintered Diamond Burs - Drums

SUVA's sintered diamond burs provide reliable cutting action and outlast standard plated lapidary burs by 5-10 times.

Use for shaping and carving lapidary minerals and gemstones, glass, opals, porcelain, metals, or other hard materials with your Foredom or Dremel rotary tool. Be sure to maintain and re-shape your valuable sintered burs with the companion Diamond Re-Shaping Block. Inland-brand sintered burs are also available in additional grits and sizes. You can extend the life of your diamond burs with the optional use of 412 Slick Lube diamond tool lubricant.

Follow up by sanding with Diamond Pacific Nova Sanding Points, and finish by polishing with Diamond Pacific Phenol points or SUVA's exclusive hardwood polishing burs charged with Mt. Mist Super Polish or standard diamond paste, or felt burs loaded with your favorite lapidary polish.
