Innovative Products of America introduces its 3-in-1 diamond grinding wheels. Available in 2" and 3" diameters, the wheels are designed for use with high-speed die grinders. The grinding disc features a diamond abrasive edge that is said to last 20 to 60 times longer than traditional abrasives. In addition to maintaining size and shape, the diamond grinding wheels cut quickly and produce low sparks and odor, according to the company. The three-dimensional coating enables back cutting, gully grinding and bead finishing in difficult-to-reach areas.
