grinding question

(1/4) > >>

stringstretcher:
When using a diamond grinding wheel, do you have to use water?  If so, does anyone have a basic plan to build a grinder?

mullet:
  You need to use water or you will lose your diamonds pretty quick. Mine is homemade. Buy a 50 grit wheel and mount it on a side mount motor, over a Tupperware tray with water and a small lapidary spraypump under the wheel.

Justin Snyder:
Eddie, what the heck are you thinking. PICTURES!!!!!  ;D Justin

mullet:
  I'll take them tomorrow, My pan is made from sheet metal but looking back Tupperware would be easier.

stringstretcher:
would love to see pictures of you guys set up
