DiamondCore® Tools: Best Lapidary Tools
Whether your lapidary work is focused on tumbling, cabbing, faceting or carving, you want the right lapidary tools to complete each project with precision and delicacy. Shaping and polishing precious stones can be tedious, and you don’t want to risk ruining them with a tool that is too abrasive and lacks the control you need. Lapidary tools from DiamondCore® Tools allow lapidary artists to confidently grind, sand and polish even the most delicate stones!
Have you been looking for the best lapidary tools on the market? We’ve put together a list of our favorite lapidary tools that we believe you’ll love too!
6-Piece Flexible Diamond Sanding Pads
Our 6-Piece Flexible Diamond Sanding Pads are long-lasting and allow you to sand precious stones easily. This 6-piece set comes in a variety of grits, helping you to achieve the perfect finish for each gemstone, diamond or more. The special uniform diamonds on each pad make them less susceptible to dulling, allowing you to continue working and getting the best quality results each time!
4-Piece Spiral Band Set (1 and 2)
Spiral bands allow you to perfectly sand contoured areas, helping to remove sharp edges on a stone. They make it much easier for you to smooth rounded areas like a gemstone or diamond that need the precision of a curve-friendly tool. Our spiral bands attach to a cordless drill, allowing you to achieve perfectly sanded edges with ease. Each spiral band can be purchased separately, but you can save when they’re purchased together! Learn more about our 4-Piece Spiral Band Sets below.
Set 1
Our first set of Spiral Bands comes with four smaller abrasive cylinders in three grits; 60, 120 and 200 along with the rubber mandrel that supports the cylinders throughout your next lapidary project!
Set 2
Our second set of Spiral Bands are similar to the first. It also features abrasive cylinders in 60, 120 and 200 grit with the supporting mandrel. But this set is larger, so if you know you’ll be working with larger stones, these are the perfect sanding tools for your next project!
