Trend Diamond Lapping Fluid – 8.4 fl oz | Professional Sharpening Fluid by TREND

Premium lubrication for diamond sharpening

The Trend Diamond Abrasive Lapping Fluid is a lightweight, petroleum-based lubricant designed to accompany Trend diamond stones and other diamond abrasives. It is formulated to be thinner than alternatives like WD-40, helping your tool glide more smoothly across the diamond surface while reducing surface loading. Compared with water, this fluid helps minimize rust risk and corrosion associated with the porous bonding medium used in electroplating, supporting a cleaner, faster sharpening experience.

Used in the diamond abrasive industry for over 35 years, Trend Lapping Fluid is marketed as a professional-grade solution that improves overall performance. It is specifically recommended for use with Trend diamond stones, and, per the manufacturer, is required to validate the five-year warranty on those stones. The fluid is part of a long-standing tradition of high-precision sharpening tools trusted by major manufacturers and aerospace applications around the world.
