Vacuum Brazed Diamond Cone 2" 5/8"-11 PAVBC200

Pearl Vacuum Brazed Diamond Cone 2" 5/8"-11 PAVBC200 — Smooth Beveled Edge Finishing for Tile Professionals

The Pearl PAVBC200 is a 2" vacuum brazed diamond grinding cone engineered specifically for tile professionals who need to clean up raw, jagged edges left behind after coring holes and making cutouts in hard tile and stone materials. Its unique tapered cone body design allows it to work across a wide range of hole diameters, making it a versatile single-tool solution for edge dressing, hole enlargement, and shaping tasks. The durable vacuum brazed diamond bond delivers aggressive material removal while leaving behind a smooth, beveled finish that improves both the appearance and structural integrity of the finished opening. Compatible with standard 5/8"-11 angle grinders and suitable for wet or dry use, this cone is built for demanding field and shop applications.

Technical Specifications

Unlike flat cup wheels or standard grinding discs, the PAVBC200's tapered cone geometry allows it to reach inside cored holes and cutouts to dress edges that flat tools cannot access. The vacuum brazed diamond bond provides a more aggressive and consistent cut compared to sintered or electroplated alternatives, making it particularly well suited for hard, dense materials such as porcelain and granite where edge chipping and cracking are common concerns.

Key Features & Benefits

Vacuum Brazed Diamond Bond

The vacuum brazed bond securely holds diamond abrasive particles across the working surface, delivering aggressive and consistent material removal throughout the tool's life. This bond type is well suited for hard tile and stone materials where a durable, high-exposure diamond surface is required to cut efficiently without glazing over.

Tapered Cone Body Design

The unique cone shape allows the tool to engage the interior edge of cored holes and cutouts at the correct angle, producing a smooth, uniform bevel. The taper also means a single tool can be used across a range of different hole diameters, reducing the need to carry multiple tools on the job site.

Smooth Beveled Finish

After grinding, the cone leaves behind a smooth, beveled edge rather than a raw, fractured one. This finish significantly reduces the risk of cracks forming and spreading from hole edges — a critical consideration when working with large format tile or any material that is under tension.

Wet or Dry Operation

The PAVBC200 can be run wet or dry, giving contractors flexibility depending on the job site setup and dust control requirements. Wet operation helps manage silica dust and can extend tool life, while dry operation is available where water is not practical.

5/8"-11 Thread Compatibility

The standard 5/8"-11 arbor thread mounts directly to common angle grinders without adapters, making the PAVBC200 easy to integrate into an existing tool setup. This is the industry-standard thread for angle grinders used in tile and stone work.

Common Applications

Edge Cleanup After Coring

After a core bit creates a hole in tile or stone, the resulting edge is typically raw and jagged. The PAVBC200 quickly grinds these edges down to a smooth, professional beveled finish.

Cutout Edge Dressing

When cutouts are made for fixtures, drains, or outlets in tile installations, the PAVBC200 cleans up the rough perimeter edges, improving appearance and reducing the risk of cracking at stress points.

Hole Enlargement

The tapered cone geometry allows the tool to be used to carefully enlarge existing holes in tile or stone to achieve a precise final diameter.

Trimming and Shaping

Beyond edge cleanup, the cone can be used for general trimming and shaping tasks on tile and stone, providing controlled material removal in tight or curved areas.

Large Format Tile Work

Large format tiles are particularly susceptible to cracking from unfinished hole edges under tension. The PAVBC200's beveled finish is especially valuable in these installations to prevent crack propagation.

Safety Data Summary

Hazard Information

• Use of this product generates dust that may contain respirable crystalline silica.
• Repeated and/or substantial inhalation of airborne crystalline silica can cause serious or fatal respiratory diseases, including silicosis.
• California and some other authorities have listed respirable crystalline silica as a substance known to cause cancer.
• This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm (Prop 65). Diamond products may contain Cobalt, Nickel, and Lead.

Personal Protective Equipment

• Proper personal protective equipment that has been fit tested to the worker is required.
• Respiratory protection appropriate for silica dust must be used.

Safe Handling

• Do not use without dust containment and collection systems, or integrated water delivery systems.
• Acceptable work practices and recommendations for dust control methods can be found in 29 CFR § 1910.1053.
• If unfamiliar with the risks associated with grinding porcelain, granite, marble, or similar materials, review the product's material safety data sheet and/or consult your employer, manufacturers/suppliers, or governmental agencies such as OSHA and NIOSH.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What thread size is required to mount the PAVBC200?
A: The PAVBC200 uses a standard 5/8"-11 thread, which is compatible with most common angle grinders used in tile and stone work — no adapter is required.

Q: Can this cone be used dry, or does it require water?
A: The PAVBC200 is rated for both wet and dry use. Wet operation is recommended where dust control is a priority, particularly when working with silica-containing materials such as granite or porcelain.

Q: Is the PAVBC200 suitable for large format tile?
A: Yes. The smooth beveled finish produced by the cone is particularly important for large format tile, which is more susceptible to cracking from unfinished hole edges under tension.

Q: Can this tool enlarge existing holes, or is it only for edge cleanup?
A: In addition to cleaning up raw edges after coring and cutting, the PAVBC200 can be used to enlarge existing holes and for other trimming and shaping applications.
