| Polishing (sanding) Disks |
and allow fast, easy and accurage
sanding of angled surfaces.
There are several sizes and shapes
of disks for different levels of
sanding.
In order to choose the correct
sanding disk for the right job,
we must distinguish among the
various options.
- very rough surface - disk #16 (very rare)
- normal rough surface - disk #24
- medium rough surface - disk #36
- meduim surface - disk #60
- medium smooth surface - disk #120
- normal smooth surface - disk #220
- very smooth surface - disk #320
When using this particular disk, an
electronic grinding machine is needed
in order to control the very accurate
speed which is required to ensure that
the disk will not ruin the surface.
The same procedure is needed for all
very fine grinding disks. These are not
recommended because they have a short
life span.
When using the grinding disks, the sculpture
should be dry and without any corners.
If a sander lower than disk #120 is needed, it
is recommended to use very fine sandpaper
and diamond pads by hand.
NOTE - Red disks are for use on metals only.
Black disks are for stone.
When a disk gives off a burning smell, it is
a sign that it is no longer working properly
and it could leave black or brown marks on the
stone. When these signs appear, it's time to
replace the disk.
