It is important to remember that diamond is one of the hardest materials in the world, and are almost impossible to break. This is exactly why, diamonds are often used in tools that are meant to cut metal or polish them. However, if you are thinking that these precious stones are used as and when they are found, you would be completely wrong.
Diamonds used for jewellery have to succeed on several factors, including the cut, clarity and colour. But when it comes to Diamond Dressers, there are no such specifications and any diamond will do. This is why the rocks that do not make the cut in the jewel industry are used to make cutting and polishing tools. As a matter of fact, even tools that are used to etch on hard metals can have diamonds in their tips.
The powder or grit that is collected when diamonds are polished are often used to create special sprays. When this powder is mixed with normal water, it can be used as a polish for glass and certain other materials. Simply spray a little of this diamond water on glass and gently rub it off, and see that glass shine! So, the next time you see Dressing Tools, look a little more carefully!
