Concrete Grinding
Concrete grinding is usually done with metal bond diamond tools. In most cases, you would start with 30 or 70 grit to open up the concrete and gradually refine it. We offer Quick Change trapezoid style tools with one or two segments (buttons or bars), as well as puck style metal bond discs. Use QC tooling with Security Plates for safe operation.
Common mistakes to avoid:
- Using hard bond tools on hard concrete – this leads to diamond glazing, meaning the tools don’t cut well and just slide on the floor surface. Adding water can help, as well as removing weights, and slowing down the rpms. In many cases, it is best to switch to a softer bond tool.
- Using soft bond tools on soft concrete – this leads to premature tool wear, because soft concrete is very abrasive. Switching to harder bond will improve tool life.
