What is this and what is it used for

Diamond impregnated tool used to polish slabs of granite/marble.


Winner!

I think this is the closest you guys will get without knowing the industry in which it's used. Not a polisher and not for granite/marble, but very close.

It is a diamond plated tool that is used to grind glass. We use it in conjunction with our 16ftx16ft 5-axis grinder. This specific tool was created to cut a triangular groove in a quartz block.

Here are some close-ups of the edges:

Just butter and cheese for me, after it has been properly baked.

For a start I will just share these in the order I took the pictures. I suspect we all use the name sake of this item but it is the special form that amkes this item unique. Higly recomended for college students these days.

 

Front side with a dime to show the size.

 Weights in at about 3-4 lbs.

 

It is the special use that makes this item special.

OK that lasted a whole 23 minutes.

 

Here is one that I do NOT know exactly what it is. Maybe you can tell me. I found it in a dumpster.

The right end has a aluminum disk glue to it with a 3/4 inch hole drilled in it.
