Diamond Grinding Discs DGD
Long Life Surfaces with Consistent Results
Buehler diamond grinding discs (DGD’s) offer extended life, high removal rates, increased efficiency and consistency and reduced waste relative to silicon carbide paper.
They are a great choice for many grinding applications including grinding very hard materials that silicon carbide paper may not effectively grind.
Process a Variety of Materials
Buehler offers multiple different types of diamond grinding disc products depending on the material being processed as well as the speed and surface quality needed.
Only an occasional dressing is required with some materials to maintain the surface.
DGD Color
DGD Color discs are available with PSA or Magnetic backing in abrasive sizes from 8 micron to 240 micron.
DGD Terra
DGD Terra discs are available with PSA or Magnetic backing in abrasive sizes from 0.5 micron to 165 micron.
DGD Ultra
DGD Ultra discs are available with PSA backing in abrasive sizes from 6 micron to 125 micron.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I store my DGDs when not in use?
Are there any working parameters recommended while working with DGDs?
When grinding with DGD’s use of 300 RPM (base) and 60 RPM (power head) generally provides optimal material removal, thus greatest grinding efficiency. Always grind with water coolant, adjust water flow such that the disc remains wet yet not saturated with copious water flow as this may reduce grinding rate.
For most materials 5 pounds per square inch surface area is ideal, this translates into ~ 4lbs/1” or 30mm sample, 5lbs/1.25” sample, 7lbs/1.50” or 40mm sample, ~ 12lbs/2” or 50mm sample. When working with highly abrasion-resistant materials (very hard ceramic, carbides, refractory alloys) increase pressure to ~6lbs. per square inch.
