The Drilax 6 Inch Diamond Cabbing Wheel, 240 Grit is a medium-fine-grit, electroplated diamond wheel for smoothing and pre-polishing in lapidary work. Bridges rough shaping and final polish, smoothing contours and removing scratches left by coarser grits. The 6 x 1 inch wheel has nickel-bonded diamond over a solid plastic core, and the 1 inch arbor comes with 3/4, 5/8 and 1/2 inch reducer rings to fit most lapidary grinders and cabbing machines.
Benefits
240 Grit (Medium-fine): Bridges rough shaping and final polish, smoothing contours and removing scratches left by coarser grits.
Electroplated Diamond, Not Resin: Nickel-bonded diamond over a solid plastic core resists shedding and holds its cut through repeated cabbing sessions.
Fits Most Cabbing Machines: 1 inch arbor with 3/4, 5/8 and 1/2 inch reducer rings included, so you don't need to buy separate adapters.
Sharpens TIG Tungsten: Also puts a clean point on TIG welding tungsten electrodes.
Build a Wheel Set: Drilax 6 inch cabbing wheels come in 60, 80, 100 and 240 grit, each sold individually, so you can step from rough shaping to pre-polish.

How To Use
How To Use
- Mounting: Fit the reducer ring that matches your machine's shaft (3/4, 5/8 or 1/2 inch), or use the 1 inch arbor as is, and tighten the wheel securely.
- Use Water: Grind with water to keep heat and dust down while you shape the stone.
- Work Through the Grits: Step from coarser to finer wheels; 240 grit is used for smoothing and pre-polishing.
- Light Pressure: Let the diamond do the work. Heavy pressure or grinding dry wears the coating faster.
