Composite grinding disks are an alternative to intermediate grinding and polishing. PACE Technologies composite disk vary slightly from other competitive products in that they are precharged with diamond. This allows the disks to cut faster and longer. Two disks types are available, the ORION composite polishing disk is precharged with 3 micron diamond, whereas the SIRIUS composite disk is precharged with 9 micron diamond.
The SIRIUS composites grinding disks offer an alternative to grinding with 320-600 grit SiC papers, and the ORION composite disk offer an excellent alternative to rough polishing with 3-6 micron diamond.
