Nova Wheel 6 Inch - 1200 Grit

With Nova Wheels, diamonds are embedded within a tough, flexible plastic resin and backed by soft, thick rubber. This soft, flexible construction enables the surface of the Nova Wheel to conform to your stones, eliminating flat spots and scratches. These wheels must be used with water and the maximum RPM is 1725. Six inch Nova Wheels measure 6 x 1-1/2 inch and fit Genie, CabKing 6 inch, or larger.

Tip:
Nova soft wheels should be broken in by sanding and polishing a large agate or quartz cab prior to working on other stones. This removes the sharp application layer of resin coating. You can also perform this step with your knuckles as many an absent-minded cabber can attest, but it's best to spend two to five minutes on each wheel with your starter cab, working it over the entire surface of the wheel. Note the finer grit wheels 3000+ will take longer to remove the excess resin. Your wheel smoothness will continue to improve in speed and finish as more stones are worked and the surface becomes smooth. Use enough pressure to cause the surface of the Nova sanding wheel to depress slightly to conform to your stone. This eliminates the falt spots left by the grinding wheels and will cause fewer scratches than would be produced by too-light pressure.
