The NEW Diamond Sanding and Finishing System is a complete, progressive diamond sanding and finishing workflow designed specifically for ceramic artists working on bisque-fired and finished ceramic surfaces. The system guides potters through controlled material removal via surface refinement and final polishing using DiamondCore’s professional diamond abrasive technology.

Our comprehensive system includes the following in this intended workflow:

Diamond Grinding Disc — 120 Grit
Designed for:

• Heavy material removal
• Aggressive surface correction
• Flattening and leveling
• Substantial material removal
• Rapid refinement of larger surfaces

The first stage in the finishing workflow where significant material is removed.

Semi-Flexible Diamond Sanding Pad — 120 Grit
Designed for:

• Controlled secondary material removal
• More-precise hand sanding
• Refining after grinding disc work
• Edge cleanup
• Transition sanding

The Semi-Flexible Diamond Sanding Pad (120 grit) continues the material removal stage with increased hand control and precision.

Flexible Diamond Sanding Pad (Rounded Corners) — 200 Grit
Designed for:

• Initial surface smoothing 
• Reducing scratch patterns
• Refining transitions
• Beginning the later smoothing stages
• Preparing the surface for finer finishing

The Flexible Sanding Pad (200 grit) introduces the first true refinement stage in the workflow.

Diamond Sanding Sponge — 400 Grit
Designed for:

• Flexible pre-polishing and contour refinement
• Contour sanding of curved surfaces, rims and foot rings
• Blended transitions
• Wet sanding applications

The high water-retention sponge core and radius sanding edge allow for smooth, controlled pre-polishing while comfortably following the form of the piece.

Diamond Sandpaper — 800 Grit
Designed for:

• Final surface polishing
• Refined finishing
• Ultra-smooth surface preparation
• Fine glaze clean up and touch up

The 800-grit Diamond Sandpaper delivers the final stage of refinement for a clean, polished ceramic surface.

CAUTIONS

• Use all safety precautions
• Always use safety goggles
• Be certain that debris does not get into moist, usable clay
• Carefully clean splash pans to remove all sharp debris
• Always use with water to maximize tool life and control dust
• Do not attempt to force grinding
• Take care to avoid skin removal
• Keep out of the reach of children

Technique note: Always use water, high speed and gentle pressure. "Let the diamonds do the work."
