  Experts recommend this wheel for workshops and job sites where consistent bevel preparation is critical before polishing.

Q&A

Q: What is the Raimondi Bulldog Advanced 45° Bevel Rough Finish Wheel (BDW45RF)?
A: A diamond profiling wheel designed to create a rough finish 45° bevel on tile edges using Raimondi Bulldog Advanced machines.

Q: What is it used for in tile finishing?
A: It’s the second step (rough finish) after milling, preparing beveled edges for polishing and improving edge quality.

Q: What tiles and machines is it compatible with?
A: Fits Raimondi Bulldog Advanced (BD1WD/BD2WD) profiling machines and some back‑finishers. 

Q: Why is the grit level important?
A: The 160‑grit rough finish removes milling marks and preps the bevel for smoother, high‑quality polishing.

Q: Who should use this wheel?
A: Professional tile installers and fabricators needing consistent, durable bevel preparation on porcelain, marble, granite, and other stone tiles.

Maintenance Tips

• Clean after use: Wipe diamond surface and arbor to remove stone dust/slurry and prevent clogging that can reduce cutting efficiency.
• Check fit before mounting: Ensure the wheel seats securely on the arbor and spins true to avoid wobble or vibration during beveling.
• Inspect diamond grit: Replace when grit wears smooth or loses cutting action to maintain consistent rough finish prep for polishing.
• Avoid side pressure: Apply even feed pressure within machine specs to prevent premature wear or wheel cracking.
• Use correct sequence: Pair with the Step 1 milling wheel for best 45° bevel preparation before rough finishing.
• Store dry: Keep in a clean, dry environment to protect resin bond and prevent contamination of diamond surface.
