The many uses of "Pumice Wheels"

 Although there are many hardness and shapes of "Pumice Wheels". The most desirable is the #180 grit as shown in this display. Instead of using a Triangular file of #4 grit, the cleaning wheel keeps all marks of the filing to a safe minimum. Hence, less cleaning from any "Tripoly & Rouge" polishing wheels. In fact, much to return to the original fine edges can be acquired from the use of "Tapered & Flat" Pumice wheels. 

 There is even a #1,000 grit Polishing Pumice Wheel, these are sold in conjunction with the #180 grit wheels. Their colouring is a great idea, as they are only Pink in colour.

 For edges around the setting areas, the need for a fine-edged wheel is far superior, now there is no need for any Emery Wheel or "Pillar" & "Triangular files" with #4 cut. The Emery wheel is too aggressive for any delicate sections near the diamond setting areas.

 These pumice wheels only enhance what is already there, not ruin it.

 Other needs for this cleaning process are prior to the actual setting procedure. It removes many aberrations that may occur while in the casting stages. Once the stones are set, it is really difficult to remove any of the extra flakes of gold. These pumice wheels may be used prior to, or post-gemstone setting.

 BTW, again note, all of these 'Pumice Wheels' come with 'Flat & Tapered' edges. When they get worn down they can be used on the inside of the rings.

 

 These "Snap On, Emery Disks" are of #220 grit (as shown). 

 These are the #1,000 grit, Pink, Polishing Wheels

  Here are a few uses of the Pumice Wheels during my 'ring cleaning'.

 The "Tapered" rotating #180 grit wheel is so easy to use. No cloth polishing wheel can get into these minute areas.

 Here is the Pink #1,000 grit doing its work without ruining the tips of the "V" shaped claws.

 Instead of mishandling the finished tops of any ring, I will rely upon the Pink wheel to assist me.

 In this photo is the rotating "Snap-on" Emery wheel. There is no need to use your Emery stick, why? You just can't see what is going on, you can easily guide the wheel yourself.

 Finally, here is the 'almost, worn down' Pumice Wheel #180 grit, removing any marks prior to the setting of your diamond.

 Hoping you now fully appreciate these Pumice Wheels of both grit textures.
