Description

Lavina Flexible Electroplated Diamond Pads

Lavina Flexible Electroplated Diamond Pads are professional stone grinding and honing tools designed for scratch refinement after metal bond grinding.

They are an excellent tool for removing scratches left by metal diamonds and preparing the stone for the next polishing stage. The electroplated diamond surface cuts effectively while helping produce a more even and controlled scratch pattern.

The flexible construction allows the pad to follow slight contours and surface irregularities, helping maintain more consistent contact with the stone.

A hook & loop backing allows the pads to be attached and removed quickly, making grit changes simple and helping improve workflow.

Another practical advantage is the very low level of water splash during wet use, making the pads cleaner and easier to control while grinding and honing stone.

Application Guide

1. Select the Correct Grit

Choose a grit suitable for removing the scratch pattern left by the previous metal bond tool.

2. Attach the Pad

Fit the pad securely to a compatible hook & loop backing pad and make sure it is centred correctly.

3. Use with Water

Apply a controlled amount of water during use. The pads produce very little splash, helping keep the working area cleaner.

4. Work the Surface Evenly

Move the machine steadily across the stone using overlapping passes. Avoid excessive pressure and allow the diamonds to do the cutting.

5. Inspect the Surface

Clean the stone and check that the scratches from the metal bond tool have been removed before moving to the next polishing stage.
