Description

Professional Vacuum Brazed Diamond Edge Profililing

The Vacuum Brazed Diamond Hand Grinder Profile Wheel range provides contractors with a fast and controlled method of creating consistent radius and bevel profiles on concrete, stone and suitable masonry edges.

Designed for use with compatible 5″ handheld grinders, these profile wheels combine an aggressive vacuum brazed diamond cutting surface with an integrated guide bearing to help the operator follow the edge and maintain a consistent profile.

Choose from 5mm, 10mm and 20mm radius profiles for rounded edges or a 10mm 45° bevel profile for creating a clean angled edge.

Each profile is available in 30, 60 and 120 grit, allowing the operator to progress from initial shaping through to increasingly refined edge preparation.

What Is Vacuum Brazed Diamond Technology?

Unlike conventional abrasive wheels, these profile wheels use vacuum brazed diamond technology.

During manufacturing, industrial diamond particles are bonded to the metal body using a specialised brazing alloy under controlled high-temperature vacuum conditions.

This process creates a strong bond between the diamond abrasive and the metal wheel while leaving a significant portion of each diamond particle exposed.

Why does this matter?

More exposed diamond means the abrasive can make direct contact with the material being profiled.

This gives vacuum brazed tooling several important characteristics:

• Fast cutting action
• Aggressive material removal
• High diamond exposure
• Excellent profiling performance
• Reduced tendency to simply rub against the surface
• Effective cutting on suitable concrete, stone and masonry materials
• Controlled shaping when combined with the guide bearing

Vacuum brazed diamond tooling is particularly well suited to applications where material needs to be physically shaped or removed, rather than simply polished.

Vacuum Brazed vs Traditional Abrasives

The key advantage of vacuum brazed diamond tooling is the amount of diamond exposed at the working surface.

Rather than relying on a thick abrasive matrix that gradually wears away to expose new cutting particles, vacuum brazed tooling has diamond particles bonded directly onto the working surface.

This provides an open and aggressive cutting face, making it an excellent choice for edge profiling.

However, vacuum brazed profile wheels should not be confused with polishing pads.

Their primary purpose is to:

CUT → SHAPE → PROFILE → REFINE

If a high-gloss polished edge is required, the profile should generally be followed with the appropriate progressive diamond polishing system.

Available Profiles

5mm Radius

The 5mm Radius Profile Wheel creates a small rounded edge.

It’s an excellent option when you want to remove a sharp 90-degree corner while retaining most of the original edge shape.

Ideal for:

• Small edge radiuses
• Taking sharpness off concrete edges
• Decorative concrete
• Benchtop edges
• Step and slab edges

---

10mm Radius

The 10mm Radius Profile Wheel creates a more noticeable rounded edge and is a versatile option for general concrete and stone profiling.

It provides a larger radius than the 5mm profile without producing the substantial rounded edge created by the 20mm version.

Ideal for:

• Medium radius edges
• Concrete benchtops
• Polished concrete
• Precast concrete
• Steps
• Decorative edges

---

20mm Radius

The 20mm Radius Profile Wheel produces the largest rounded profile in the range.

Because considerably more material may need to be removed to establish a 20mm radius, correct technique and progressive passes are particularly important.

Ideal for:

• Large rounded edges
• Bullnose-style profiles
• Thick concrete edges
• Precast work
• Benchtops and countertops
• Architectural concrete

---

10mm 45° Bevel

The 10mm 45° Bevel Profile Wheel creates a controlled angled profile rather than a rounded radius.

It is designed for producing a clean 45-degree chamfer/bevel along the material edge.

Ideal for:

• 45° bevels
• Chamfered edges
• Architectural concrete
• Concrete benchtops
• Precast concrete
• Removing sharp square corners
• Decorative edge details

---

Three Grit Options

Each profile is available in 30, 60 and 120 grit, allowing you to choose the required level of cutting aggression.

30 Grit – Coarse / Aggressive

The 30 grit wheel provides the most aggressive cutting action.

Use it when substantial material needs to be removed or when initially establishing the required profile.

Best for:

• Initial profiling
• Heavy material removal
• Establishing radius profiles
• Establishing 45° bevels
• Rough edges
• Faster stock removal

---

60 Grit – Medium

The 60 grit provides a balance between material removal and surface refinement.

It can be used after 30 grit to remove deeper scratches and further refine the shape.

Best for:

• Intermediate profiling
• Refining 30 grit scratches
• General edge shaping
• Improving profile consistency
• Preparing for finer grinding

---

120 Grit – Fine

The 120 grit provides the finest cutting action of the three available grits.

It is designed primarily for refining the profile and reducing scratches remaining from the coarser stages.

Best for:

• Final profile refinement
• Smoothing the profiled edge
• Reducing coarse scratches
• Preparing an edge for subsequent polishing

Important: 120 grit is still a profiling/grinding stage. It should not be considered a substitute for a complete polishing system where a polished finish is required.

---

Recommended Grit Progression

For edges requiring substantial material removal, we recommend progressively working through the grits:

30 Grit → 60 Grit → 120 Grit → Polishing

30 Grit establishes the profile.

60 Grit removes the deeper scratches and refines the shape.

120 Grit further smooths and prepares the edge.

If a polished finish is required, continue with the appropriate polishing system after profiling.

Skipping grit stages may leave deeper scratches that become difficult to remove during later stages.

---

Integrated Guide Bearing

Each profile wheel incorporates a guide bearing designed to follow the edge of the workpiece.

The bearing assists the operator in maintaining the correct position of the profile wheel as it travels along the edge.

This provides greater control than attempting to manually create the same radius or bevel using a standard grinding wheel.

The guide helps produce a more consistent:

• Radius
• Bevel
• Profile depth
• Edge shape

The operator should still use smooth, controlled movements and avoid forcing the wheel into the material.

Important Operating Information

Always ensure the profile wheel is correctly fitted and compatible with your grinder, including the spindle/thread connection and maximum operating RPM.

Do not exceed the profile wheel’s rated maximum RPM.

Use smooth, controlled passes rather than forcing the diamond wheel into the material. This is particularly important with larger profiles such as the 20mm radius, where considerably more material may need to be removed.

Always use appropriate PPE, grinder guarding and dust control/extraction for the material being processed.

Concrete hardness, aggregate type, reinforcement, material composition and operator technique can all influence cutting performance and the final result.

For decorative or finished surfaces, test the tooling on an inconspicuous area where practical before completing the entire job.
