Gemstone Preforming & Shaping
Diamond preforming and shaping solutions for converting gemstone slabs and rough blanks into controlled profiles ready for cabochon making, faceting, carving and jewelry production.

APPLICATION OVERVIEW
HANS provides diamond grinding and shaping tools for gemstone preforming, contour generation and dimensional refinement. Our solutions help transform slabs, sawn blanks and rough gemstones into oval, round, pear, teardrop, rectangular, freeform and other controlled profiles before cabochon grinding, faceting, carving or final polishing.
KEY CHALLENGES
Gemstone preforming requires efficient material removal without sacrificing valuable material or damaging fragile edges. Poor control during rough shaping can cause chipping, cracking, excessive material loss, inaccurate profiles and deep grinding marks that increase the amount of work required during subsequent finishing operations.
RECOMMENDED SOLUTIONS
HANS offers electroplated diamond grinding wheels, sintered diamond wheels, diamond U-shape and profile wheels, concave and convex wheels, electroplated diamond flap wheels, diamond grinding discs, flexible diamond sanding belts and discs, mounted diamond points and precision diamond burs for controlled gemstone preforming and shaping.
