Designed primarily for grinding material on an internal cut out, such as an under mount polished sink cut out after the actual hole has been cut. These fit directly to a wet or dry polishing machine and come in a variety of grits and sizes.

30/40 grit - Coarse - For fast stock removal
70/80 grit - Medium - even out the marks from grade one and flattening the surface for polishing
140/180 grit - fine - actually this is almost starting the polishing and is reducing the steps of polishing pad that would be used to finish the surface.

Available in the following three sizes:-

20mm diameter, 42mm deep
50mm diameter, 50mm deep
75mm diameter, 50mm deep.

It's unlikely the two larger size are of interest in tiling, but the finger bit at 20mm, is perfect for opening out holes or edge grinding troublesome shapes.

Being vacuum brazed this will also work on porcelain as well as the usual natural stone products. On stone 30/40 grit is ideal, on porcelain or fine materials the 70/80 is probably a more suitable choice and maybe the 140/180 for fine finishing.

M14 fitment for use on a polisher, will fit angle grinders, but operation at 10,000 rpm might get a bit hairy! Target speed depends on the size of the bit and what you're cutting, but a general rule of thumb would be the larger the bit the slower the rotation. Sub 6,000 rpm is generally recommended.

The holes in the surface of each drum are for centre water fed polishers, these drums are hollow so water can be pumped into the centre and out through the holes.

Excellent, been looking for a wee finger for a while. Would the 20mm be a bit quicker than a Rotozip?

Are these on eBay at the minute? You're getting some amount of stock now. :drool5:

Yeah, all listed in our store in the "grinding" category.

These are just so much larger and more robust than rotozip bits and don't have to cope with spinning at 30,000 rpm either.

will they be ok for porcs, like for reaming out holes etc...?

Yes, this is the same diamond technology we use with the mitre tool.

Coarse will remove material fairly rapidly, so for grinding up to an internal edge, if it's going to be seen then the 70/80 will provide a better finish, 140/180 will leave a final finish.
