Right Diamond Cup Wheel for Concrete Grinding

Diamond cup wheel is widely used in construction such as for home building, improvements and repair. It is the grinding tool which is often used to grind concrete, masonry and stone materials. Having a superior quality cup wheel has many benefits; it is fast, low cost and low noise.

First thing you have when you decide on what kind of diamond cup wheel should be adopted in your application is to determine the hardness and the nature of the concrete or the materials you are going to grind. The bond of your diamond cup wheel should be softer if the concrete is hard because diamonds are apt to become blunt when grinding hard concrete. Softer bond can be worn down with the blunt diamonds faster. Then make new diamond beneath be more easily exposed to participate in cutting the hard concrete. The bond should be harder if the concrete is relatively softer. Diamonds can last long when grinding softer concrete. Harder bond wears slower so that it can hold the diamonds longer. As a result, it can make better use of the diamonds and prolong the service life of your cup wheel.

The two phases in concrete (and or materials)grinding is coarse grinding and fine grinding which is sometimes called polishing. These two phases also need different diamond cup wheels.

Single Row Cup Wheel

1. Coarse Grinding – The bond should be softer and the diamond toughness should be higher because diamond are more easily become blunt. The diamond grit should be bigger which is normally from 35 grit – 50 grit. Big grit can improve working efficiency for this is coarse grinding and the diamond concentration can be lower.
2. Fine Grinding or Polishing - The diamond toughness can be lower and the bond should be harder. In this case the diamonds can last longer and hard bond can also help the precision of the processing. 80 grit – 120 grit is normally the diamond grit in fine grinding depending on proctical requirements.
