Rez Diamond Soft Lapidary Wheels
Highly effective resin wheels, REZ Diamond Soft Lapidary Wheels, are specially designed for cabbing, contour grinding, pre-polishing, and forming stone, glass, synthetic materials, and certain metals. These REZ Diamond Soft Lapidary Wheels excel in high-volume commercial cabbing thanks to their efficiency and effectiveness. We choose our REZ Diamond Soft Lapidary Wheels for commercial cabbing because we manufacture them using a proprietary technique that securely locks commercial-grade diamonds into a specially formulated resin-bonded belt. We then mount this belt on a medium-density foam backing with a plastic center core, providing a cushion that allows the Wheels to conform to your stone and absorb pressure.
These wheels possess an aggressive resin bond that results in a rough texture with sharp points, rendering them perfect for heavy-duty use. However, due to their napped nature, these wheels necessitate a break-in period before you can use them on jewelry pieces. You can also employ these wheels on other cabbing machine brands since they feature 1" arbor holes and come with bushings to accommodate 1/2", 5/8", and 3/4" arbors.

Premium REZ Diamond Wheels Break-In Instructions
For premium REZ Wheels only. First of all, please do not use this wheel dry. Use plenty of water. Failure to do so will cause damage to the wheel. These wheels are manufactured with aggressive resin bond, resulting in rough texture with sharp points. They require a break-in period prior to working on cabs or other jewelry pieces. To break-in your wheel, sand and polish a large piece of agate (or something else that is in-between 8-9 on a hardness scale) to remove excess resin bond that contains protruding diamonds and smooth down all sharp points. Using these wheels without breaking them in can cause a scratchy finish. Make sure the piece of agate or other material you are using to break-in your wheel is of no value to you. Use a piece of agate with a smooth face and a square or rough straight edge on one side (use the rough edge to knock off the very tops of the peaks only). Use the agate with plenty of water to run the wheel in.Don’t try to smooth the wheel entirely as this will wear the wheel excessively. Avoid placing sharp edged of stone onto the wheels as this will strip the resin right off. While cabbing
