Inland Craft Sintered Diamond Wheels
When you need a wheel that grinds as fiercely on its thousandth cab as it did on its first, nothing beats a sintered diamond wheel.
Engineered with embedded diamonds right in the metal, these wheels are for serious lapidary work - cutting faster, smoother, and far longer than plated or resin-bonded alternatives.
With diamonds embedded throughout a full 3 mm deep matrix, these wheels continuously expose fresh cutting edges as they wear—so your grind stays consistent, your stones shape effortlessly, and your productivity never slows down. Whether you’re tackling hard agates or delicate opals, sintered technology delivers the precision, durability, and efficiency that professional cabbers swear by.
Why Sintered Is the Best Choice
Unlike plated or brazed wheels, which have a single layer of diamond that wears away, sintered wheels contain diamond throughout the entire rim. This means they last many times longer, maintain a consistent cut, and can even be dressed to reveal additional crystal layers for an even sharper bite when needed. For many lapidaries, investing in sintered means upgrading once and enjoying years of reliable performance.
