Diamond hand pads or polishing discs

[Waluigi]

The diamond discs I have seen and look interesting aswell, read they need bedded in alot to get them to work and as it's DIY wouldn't get alot of use.
Where did you purchase them, seem some on eBay that look decent at £4.95 per disc so can select the grits you need.
Did you mean the grinding blade can cause chips?

A poor grinding blade will chip.

Being honest, I will cut a mitre in porcelain using a standard cheap Chinese blade and finish up with a Montolit STL fine blade......the only reason I think the sanding discs might be useful is if you’re inexperienced.

I have used them on the odd occasion for mitring though.

Yes, the sanding discs can be bought from the likes of eBay. So cheap that it’s worth finding out for yourself if they’re useful.

We ship all over the world.

Unfortunately the factory supplying us with the dished electroplated grinding discs has fallen fowl of a Patent and we've sold out of our original stock purchase. We're trying to find the Patent owner and buy from them, but no luck so far.

We've also tried 6 further versions of this product, none of which were suitable.

So it's looking like it will be out of stock for a while until we find a suitable replacement.

Is there anything else close you can recommend?

Is there anything else close you can recommend?

At the moment no, it took us a while to find this product and we were asked by a number of people to find it.

So it was disappointing to find we couldn't buy any more as they were a good product that was well made.

What is it, a fine diamond on there?

A good price for that. I’d be interested in buying one if you get some stock. Keep in mind that the Montolit fine diamond disc is £80 a pop.

 

[dg-1984]

I've got a full set of diamond pads. Used twice. In my experience they've no advantage over paper discs. Especially in dry use.
The stone masons have been twiddling edges far longer than us tilers have They've got the techniques and materials sorted already.

Would these be the right paper discs: HERE
Also so flapper style silicon carbide discs;

It's #120 grit electroplated diamond.

It was a product we sought out as a result of multiple requests from forum members.

The Montolit discs are vacuum brazed diamond and a little too coarse for controlled grinding.

What grits would you recommend?

 

[dg-1984]

The ones I am finding are in packs of 25 or 50. Only looking for a couple of discs in a few grits to do a couple DIY jobs.
Anyone know where I can purchase a few discs. Or even if any of you good people have spare I could purchase some from you.

The fine one is OK IMO, pretty smooth blade. A whole world apart from the vacuum brazed imitation Montolit I’ve seen.

What speed on a variable speed grinder should you use the electroplated diamond grinding disc?
