Diamonds are a girl’s best friends! (and for the boys who engrave too)

Diama Diamond - a great supplier of high quality diamond burs at a great price.

So if you live in the USA this is our favorite place to buy diamond burs and one of the tricks of smoothing your engraving their name is Diama Diamond and here is the web site:

Why do we love them??

*Because they have amazing customer service, you call and a person answers! NO ANSWERING MACHINE!

*Their prices! 1.25 to 1.75 each! That’s it!!! Though you need to buy them in minimum of 5. It is a great deal. And I got an email this year where the prices went SUPER LOW my order of $50 dollars came down to $30.

TIP FOR SMOOTHING: Start your cut with aregular standard coarse bur one of the cheaper burs you get as a pack on amazon or ebay like this for example:

http://www.amazon.com/Pro-Quality-20-Piece-Diamond-Point-Rotary-Tool/dp/B000MOI9G6/ref=sr_1_5?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1311326250&sr=1-5

Or buy some directly from Diama Diamond. (standard coarse)

These above can give you a rough cut and start your engraving but if you want to smooth it and prepare it for polishing I would go back and smooth it with one of the burs from Diama Diamond and any bur that has a very fine to super fine or micro fine composite polishers from Diama Diamonds, a very light touch and slow speed and you will get the smoothing done. It takes practice but it’s not that difficult.

All their burs are for a size 1/16 collet so make sure you have that, you can also download a PDF copy of their catalogue which the original size of the burs once you print them.

Shipping is not that expensive I believe about $10 for every order under $100 dollars; though my last order took a week to ship, good thing I was in no hurry. Give them a try if you are looking for no hasstle, quality products with great customer service at a good price! They are closed and shut down their website to celebrate Jewish holidays. So if the site is down when you try it please try again at a later day. Thank you and I hope this helps! If you know of any other suppliers please give us the information so we can know about them as well! Thank you and happy engraving!
