Are there diamond-coated disks that work with a conventional motor =
presently equipped with less effective grinding disks? They aren't =
evident on the net.... Lesley ljonesa@cox.net

there is a company named Pearl that makes a diamond-cup grinder that fits
on a basic 4 1/2" angle grinder, available at construction/contractor
suppliers (not at home improvement places though) and it is worth it to
call around because i found a bit of price variations on them. I finally
spend about $175 on mine but it was worth it because i got all my kiln
shelves at not cost from an old kiln, and had to grind them down and flip
them so they would straigten out. Now they are as good as new.

What size disk? Self adhesive? What do you mean "conventional motor"?
What is the equipment you're using? Bench grinder, flat lap, what?
Need more information to answer your question.
