Title: Removing Lacquer from Diamond Cut Wheels?
Post by: Skifledanabit on August 28, 2013, 03:25:50 PM
Anyone know the best way to do it?

I\'ve seen a few threads from google on using nitrodol on them, would sandpaper do it?

How about a sandblaster? Or would that wreck the diamond cut finish?

Ok. Acid dip may be an option. But lets talk blasting. Wouldnt the diamond cut finish get destroyed?

Sandblasting or sandpaper will certainly wreck the finish.

Either paint stripper worked into the wheel then cleaned off over and over again or professional lathe turning at about £70 per wheel. As I see it them\'s ya choices.
