• Grit:  Power (Course)
• Actual Weight:  .33 lbs

Small width of bit (aka grinding awl) allows you to grind tight inside curves as well as drilling holes in your glass. This one piece design prevents the common problem in a two piece design, where the diamond bit can loosen from its adaptor.

Made in Germany for Mika International. Made to fit all grinders. Grinding head (aka grinding bit) is embedded with a coating of diamond crystals in various sizes in a layer of nickel. The near spherical form of these crystals guarantees consistent and long-lasting performance when efficiently used. See Aurora's Tip below. While grinding, microscopic pieces break off the crystals. In this way the bit sharpens itself as the crystals in the next layer take over. The result of this galvanic process is an extremely long life. Diamond crystals are not so securely held in a traditional process resulting in a shorter life. See diagrams above.
