Hi-Tech Diamond Electroplated
Diamond Lap Discs

 

Hi-Tech Diamond Electroplated Diamond Lap Discs provide a flat grinding surface for general lapidary and glass grinding applications. They perform both rough and fine grinding on stones and glass.

Both 6″ and 8″ diameter discs are available in a large variety of different diamond grits. All discs are available with or without a pressure-sensitive adhesive backing.

Top-grade diamond powder is nickel-electroplated uniformly onto a 1mm-thick steel disc. These diamond discs have a long lifespan and are well-suited for more heavy-duty grinding.

These diamond discs are used on Hi-Tech Diamond's All-U-Need and Slant Cabber lap machines. They can also be used on all other lap machines that accept 1/2″ arbors.

All diamond discs are available with or without a 3M pressure-sensitive, high-tack adhesive backing. Simply peel off the adhesive backing and apply to a backing plate for a permanent application.

Notes:

Max RPM is 4,000.

Discs require a backing plate.

If you order a disc without adhesive backing and do not plan on permanently binding the disc to a backing plate, we recommend purchasing a disc bushing to prevent vibration from off-centered alignment.

Customer photo review of Hi-Tech Diamond Electroplated Diamond Lap Discs

Normally these discs are fantastic. The #600 that I recently purchased, shipped with a significant gash in the surface, rendering unusable. These discs are not exactly inexpensive, so something received like this really hurts.

Store owner replied: The mark on the disk happens sometimes in manufacturing. It normally does not affect performance. You were given authorization to return it for a replacement but so far, you have not done so.

You can't beat the quality that HI-TECH put into the plating of their Diamond Disc. Each one comes with extra strong plating for a long lasting duration.

I have not used the diamond disc as of yet, due to that I do not have enough backing plates. As soon that I am all set to go and produce some of the stones, I will send you some pictures. I like all of the products that I purchased and hope that I get really down and impress myself. Thank you

I just received the order this afternoon and had not had a chance to start the grinding yet. Hopefully this weekend I can put some time on the rocks. Thank you.

Hi-Tech Diamond Electroplated Diamond Lap Discs

Had a very nice agate slab that I decided to polish whole because of 2 cracks running though it. I got out my cheap Chinese electroplated diamond flat lap toppers. I got through 600 mesh and had a nice pre-polish started. So, I decided to go ahead and use my new Diamond Tech 1200 mesh topper. What a disaster! These discs don't smooth - they remove material!! After a brief time I stopped to looks and the good pre-polish I had was mostly gone! I decided to get out my old Chinese 1200 & 3000 discs in an attempt to correct the problem. The slab looks better after the cheap Chinese treatment, but I wasted effort, time and wear and tear on my flat lap trying to use the Diamond Tech discs. Makes me wonder about quality control on other Diamond Tech products...

Hi-Tech Diamond Electroplated Diamond Lap Discs

Store owner replied: Thank you for the review. We're sorry to hear that you had a bad experience. These discs are intended for grinding, not polishing. So yes, they will remove material. For smoothing and polishing, we recommend the Hi-Tech Diamond Smoothing Discs.

When attaching to the backplate, I slightly misaligned the lap, leading to strong vibrations. I tried to take it off to re-align it, but taking off the plate made it so uneven as to be unusable. You could claim misaligning is user error, but there's very little information or tooling to get the alignment correct on the first go, and later realignment seems not possible.

Store owner replied: This is the first we've heard of this problem. If you're not sure of your aligning skills, you could always use a disc bushing for alignment, with or without adhesive. https://www.lapidarymart.com/products/hi-tech-diamond-disc-bushing
