DIAMOND CUTTING

Corrosion in diamond cut wheels is very common, applying lacquer to a polished surface simply defies gravity it is very difficult to achieve a long lasting finish when applying lacquer to a shiny surface, small stone chips allow water in behind the lacquer and in time causes the lacquer to deteriorate and appear cloudy.

Diamond cutting involves removing a thin layer of alloy from the wheel using specialist lathing equipment. Diamond cut wheels can only be refurbished a number of times as too much alloy would eventually be removed. You may wish to consider our powder coat refurbishment as a durable and long lasting refurbishment method instead.

With our bespoke in house diamond cutting lathe we will provide you with the highest quality finish and the quickest turnaround time.

Diamond cutting can be applied to the full face and lip of the wheel, combined with an application of base coat paint can produce some spectacular finishes.

Questions and Answers about Diamond Cutting

What is a diamond cut wheel?

This is an alloy wheel which has been put on a lathe and part of or the entire painted surface of the wheel machined off to leave a shiny alloy finish. A small part of the actual alloy is machined off to create this finish. It is then lacquered over to prevent corrosion.

You will be able to see if your wheel is diamond cut if on close inspection you see very fine lines created by the cutting machine and the appearance is very shiny. This may be harder to distinguish if you wheels are of poor quality, old or corroded.

Does a diamond cut finish last?

Diamond cut wheels will not retain their finish for as long as a powder coated wheel. Any damage to the lacquer however small will allow water to seep in-between the lacquer and the alloy leaving “milky patches” on the diamond cut finish area. Always ask us if you have any concerns with your wheel.

How many times can you re cut/refurbish a diamond cut wheel?

Depending on the diamond cut wheel repair required this is usually 1-2 cuts, however if the technician feels that the wheel will be compromised in any way and weakened they will not cut the wheel and advise a Powdercoat finish for your refurbishment. Each wheel is assessed individually.
