Grinding through the polishing train
Grinding tools for stone and concrete surfaces — the middle of the polishing train and the grinding stage on concrete floors, where diamond tooling levels and prepares the surface.
Stone and concrete grind very differently. Concrete is typically harder and more variable across a floor, so the bond and grit sequence are chosen against the actual slab.
Each stage removes the scratch pattern of the previous one. Skipping a grit leaves visible marks that no later polishing removes.
Cooling and dust control decide both tool life and the working environment. We match tools to how you intend to run the machine.
Values we can state from real applications, with the basis for each one.

One row per attribute. A cell reading “Not stated” has no verified figure behind it — we confirm it against your job rather than assume a value. Machine dimensions, weight, wire speed and rail configuration are available on request.
Every specification above is confirmed against your material, machine and site conditions before an order is placed.
We specify against the job rather than the catalog. These are the facts that decide the answer for anything in Diamond Tools.
This product is specified as part of a set. These are the wire families and product groups it is normally combined with — final selection depends on the material, the machine and the site conditions.
Actual applications with the equipment, tooling and working conditions recorded.
How this equipment and tooling performs in real quarry and construction conditions.
Send the material, the machine and the working conditions. We will come back with a specification that suits the job — and say plainly where a limit exists.
