It is important to understand the use of equipment, the types and sequence of diamond tools, the problems that may arise during the polishing process, and how to solve these problems.


Use of equipment


When processing jewelry tools, it is necessary to first understand the use of equipment. Common equipment includes electric grinding heads, electric grinding discs, manual grinding heads, manual grinding discs, and grinding wheels. These devices are easy to operate, but safety should be taken into consideration to avoid accidents.


Types and sequence of diamond tools


Diamond tools are an indispensable part of jewelry tool processing. Different types and grades of diamond tools should be selected according to different processing needs. Common types of diamond tools include files, grinding heads, grinding discs, and grinding wheels. The grades are divided into coarse, medium, fine, and ultra-fine. Coarse grinding is suitable for preliminary trimming, medium grinding is suitable for fine processing, fine grinding is suitable for polishing, and ultra-fine grinding is suitable for high-gloss polishing.


Problems that may arise during the polishing process


During the polishing process, the following problems may occur:


1. Scratches: may be caused by using too coarse diamond tools or applying too much pressure during polishing.


2. Burrs: may be caused by using too fine diamond tools or applying uneven pressure during polishing.


3. Bubbles: may be caused by using inappropriate polishing agents or polishing for too long.


How to solve problems


The following solutions can be adopted for the above problems:


1. Scratches: select appropriate diamond tools and grades, control the applied pressure, and avoid excessive wear.


2. Burrs: select appropriate diamond tools and grades, apply even pressure, and maintain a stable polishing speed.


3. Bubbles: select appropriate polishing agents, control the polishing time, and avoid excessive polishing.


Conclusion


Beginners in jewelry tool processing need to understand the use of equipment, the types and sequence of diamond tools, the problems that may arise during the polishing process, and how to solve these problems. Only by mastering these basic knowledge can they better carry out jewelry tool processing and create more exquisite jewelry works.
