hi there.
iv seen on a site a mini grinder disk that is 4-5 mm thick and the edge is rounded so that you can use it to smooth out curves etc, a normal disk leaves little steps as it cuts . iv used cheap diamond disks lately as iv havent got around to buying a good one. (order going in to trade tiler soon)
the good ones iv looked at are 1mm and these would leave more little steps ( i think).

unfortunitly i cant find that site as i only stumbled across the disk when looking for something else.


thanks in advance

thinking about it some more. i think i sayw it on a stone installers site for putting drainage slots in stone worktops .
do you find that you normal high end diamond dish leave little steps in the cut if you use thes to smooth out a curve. i think the good one i just ordered will deflect toomuch when doing something like this

a good diamond disc £45 marcist 2mm thick

Stonetools do great blades at the proper price IMO.
I have a 1mm tectron blade from them and its class.
Marble vanity 115mm blade too is great.

smoothing out a curve can be done with a normal disc you just need a bit of practice with the grinder if it is for a finished edge then a polisher would be preferable to a grinder

its only for smotthing out the cut edge. i often use my cheap diamond blade on the corner of it to smooth out the cut but it leaves little chips and cuts. i think its because the blade (or me) moves or flexs too much. im afraid that when i get my new blade, montolit blade that it will flex even more

Blades are made to flex slightly so they don't snap....

i dont realy want to ruin my new good one so . do you think you can get a disk like i saw somewhere. i think it was for water grooves in polished stone worktops. google isnt showing up anything

use cheap discs and keep your expensive new one in the nice case it comes in then it will last you forever

maybe i should cut it in half . use one half for good work and the other for rougher work

have you not had a look at the Trade Tiler website?






Dave can get you most of what you need for blades.

This is the link to the diamond wheels

iv got a good one ordered from them. cant wait. im afraid that it will flex too much when smooting out a curve or worse damage it. the disk i saw would be great for that job as its wide enough for stability and rounded over so that it wont leave ridges

So we will wait for your review !!!
Let us know how it goes.
