Original Struers disks are available for plane and fine grinding. There is a wide choice of options including diamond disks, enabling you to reduce the typical grinding process to just two steps and DiaPro diamond suspensions for exceptional planeness, edge retention, and reproducibility. All Struers grinding disks ensure a consistently high removal rate as long as possible.

Polishing is performed using abrasive film and cloths in the case of diamond polishing along with a lubricant. The choice of cloth, diamond grain size, and lubricant depends on the material to be polished. The first steps are usually performed using cloths with low resilience and, for soft materials, with a low-viscosity lubricant. For final polishing, cloths with higher resilience and a lubricant with high viscosity are used. Diamond suspensions and spray are used to obtain a constant removal rate.
