Build your own diamond "puck" stones

[ThomasD]

I was also concerned about the backing, but those concerns were unfounded once I received the product. It is quite thin and once it was glued to the puck, there is no "give" in the tool. When I glued them up, I clamped all the pucks together tightly between some aluminum bar stock and left them to dry overnight.

Really good to know, going to give this a try!

Could you share where you bought the aluminum discs at how much?

It looks like your link for the aluminum discs disappeared.

What kind of adhesive did you use to secure the sheet to the disc?

I used a silicone-based adhesive so that once the sheet needs to be replaced, it should be able to be peeled off the puck.

Is this kind of adhesive what you are referring to?

I used a pair of Fiskars utility scissors (think big bad scissors on steroids ).

That's not exactly what I used, but I think that's the same kind of stuff.

I ordered these up to 800G today. The 200G looks like it will be behind the others by 10 days or so.

@Noodler, I purchased pucks and diamond paper last spring. So far I have tuned 15 pairs of skis with them and I'm pretty happy with the ease and performance. Thanks for bringing this up.

Noodler has not made his annual autumnal appearance yet, I don't think. "Last seen May 22"

My 2nd iteration.

plus

I think I will like the aluminum disc vs the steel. Plus purchasing circle pads makes it really easy to glue to the discs.

Top row is aluminum. Steel weighs .25 lbs per disc Aluminum weighs .0625 lbs

Have you tried sticking magnets onto the backs of the steelies?

 

[Dwight]

No I haven't and what would that do?

 

[cantunamunch]

Either collect magnetic debris off the edges or nothing at all

Might be worth a try.

What sizes are the pucks?
