A diamond is the hardest substance known to man and properly handled will do a tremendous amount of work. But, diamond is brittle and a moment of carelessness can ruin an expensive tool.
     
Don't Quench Never Quench a Hot Diamond with Water or Coolant

The sudden change in temperature may shatter the diamond. Always let a hot diamond cool naturally. Coolant should be turned on before the dressing operation is started. A grinding wheel that is used wet, should always be dressed wet.

If dressing must be done dry, take light cuts. Allow plenty of time for the diamond to cool between passes. Prolonged dry dressing causes diamond burning and fractures.
Never Force the Diamond Into the Wheel Quickly

The shock of meeting a fast revolving wheel suddenly may splinter the diamond and may cut a deep groove in the wheel.
Don't Force
