Interesting! I've seen the sanding discs & wheels, as well as sanding blocks, used in lapidary work too--for grinding and polishing rocks. I believe the hardness of ceramic is around 7, so you might need not actual diamond grit (10). Maybe aluminum oxide or silicon carbide blocks would be cheaper? Looks like these were good purchases.
@@briancurtis6022 I was looking up at my ceramic supply online shop and they sell diamond grid disc for sanding 88$👀, I think they are made for those big drips 😅 and I saw a other potter using diamond core tools (which are very expensive) and the sponges have also diamond grid on them, my cheaper sponges with diamond grid here in the video were actually 15$ for 4 different grits. I tried before some normal sanding sponges and they didn't work near as good and at lowes they was 5$ each.... sanding is quite a workout 😅💪
Thanks for showing. I bought a grinding disc plus round chamois sponge and was trying to figure out how I'd use it. My first thought was to glue disc on to a small round bat then attach that to wheel somehow. But I'll do it this way now. Thank you
@evelynzinnauer348 I know the struggle 😅 a while ago I saw someone at Instagram doing that - using a chamois for throwing with bats because her wheel had no bad pins. I thought that is genius 🙌. Idk if a chamoi sponge works but I used a chamoi cloth and cut it into size I needed,that will definitely work😄. I'm happy my video helped you 🥰
@loreliemiller628 I'm so happy to say the grinding disc is a time saver 🙌 The sanding Dimond sponges are awesome, I think they will be lasting a long time. And I like the little vaccum, it's shocking how much dust and kilnwash bits are in the kiln after firing...
Thank you for showing this. I have heard about grinding, but seeing it really helps.
Ah great tip about the grinding disc and chamois cloth!
Danke, das war super. vielen Dank.

This is a good review! I have rhe sanding blocks. I think they work fine and so cost effective!
I might like to try that sanding disc! Thanks!

@@sageymoodceramics chamois sponge and cloth are the same here. We call it a chamois sponge even though it's a cloth lol
@@Meandmyfirefly ok😄♥️
Great finds! Let us know how they hold up

Silicone carbide works but the diamond is faster and better
