The primary benefit of a Cerium Polish Wheel is found when cutting lapidary materials like stones with pits or absorbent matrix like gembone, ocean jasper, and opal. The typical slurry-based polish residue staining of undercut or porous areas in your stone can be avoided since the wheel surface is a cerium-oxide impregnated belt and water. Compared to a traditional lapidary polishes like diamond compound paste or super premium cerium oxide polish powder on a canvas pad, the mess reduction on your hands, face, and ceiling is significant.

Construction

These wheels are based on everyone's favorite foam-backed Nova Wheels with a cerium oxide polishing belt affixed a soft, thick foam rubber backing mounted to a plastic core. The foam layer of the Cerium Oxide Wheel allows the polishing surface of the wheel to conform to your cabochons and carvings to help apply a uniform and rapid polish. The Cerium Wheel's expected lifespan is determined by many factors including the hardness of materials you cut and pressure applied to the wheel, if you expose it to undue forces from corners or sharp edges, and the volume of stones being cut. To increase the life of your wheel and increase the speed of finishing your stones you can add additional steps to your lapidary cutting sequence such as 8,000-50,000 grit Diamond Pacific Nova Wheels or Diamond Pacific Magnetic Nova Laps.
