Hi All!


I just pick up a griding wheel from this old company, i don't have any experience with it, its looks sharp, not too much diamond on it  but  i hope  its will be good for shapeing.

 Someone  had used this wheels? Experiences?

The only thing I know about Gem Tech is up to 1972 they made nice cab machines and Diamond Pacific made the wheels.  They had some kind of falling out and the two companies went their separate ways.  They have since gone out of business but you still see their machines around.  Not sure what a Tiara Wheel is but DP does make "carvers"  as well as their standard Galaxy and Nova wheels.  The Gemtec model I see most is the "Coronet".  The the Coronet wore a Tiara.

Thanks for your replay, i did try today the wheel, it is working nice, cut fast. I think a new galaxy better than this but it was cheap, i want to try this.
