Specification of Diamond Cup Wheel

The commonly used grinding tool in the construction sites is the cup wheel. A high quality cup wheel has diamond segments that was metal-bonded throught the process of cold-pressing or through welding on different kinds of metal-like steel that is similar to a cup is called diamond cup wheel. Read more information about the different kinds and specifications of diamond cup wheel.

The most common use of cup wheel is to grind hard materials such as stones, concretes and metals. It is use for cleaning(polishing) and cutting different kinds of hard materials. This tool is best to shape different surfaces quickly and better than shaping it manually.

The diamond cup wheel with big diamond segments are for heavyweight workloads such as grinding concretes and metals while with small segments are for lightweight workloads such as removal of paint on surfaces. The segment on the diamond cup wheels have different kinds of strengths, bonds, quality, grits and concentration for their main purposes unlike the other metal-bonded diamond tools. An example to this is the bond that you should use for hard material is softer and if the material is soft, the bond must be harder.

Storm Turbo Cup Wheels

The different types of diamond cup wheels are used specifically for different kinds of material grindings. Grinding a hard material can make diamonds easily blunt, that is the reason why you need to use a higher diamond quality to make it tough. 35 Grit to 50 Grit is the typical size of the Grit because having these size can help you finish your work faster and more efficient. While the concentration of the diamond on the other hand can be lower.

For fine grinding or clean-up(polishing) projects, your tool must have a harder bond and the diamonds quality can be lower. These can make the diamonds last longer and help the precision of the processing. The Grit is usually 80 to 120 Grit, it also depends on the requirements for the grinding process.

Having knowledge on the necessary tool to be used for your construction project is really helpful to make your work done fast and efficient. Getting to know these specifications will help you find the right diamond cup wheel for your grinding task. You check out GilaTools.com for power tools used in construction, they have superior quality cup wheel available for an affordable price. They also have cutting tools such as the diamond blade.

Advantages of Diamond Cup Wheel

Mostly preferred to be used in construction industry for repairs, building and home renovations are the diamond cup wheel. It is durable than any ordinary grinding wheels. This diamond cup wheel is used in grinding, shaping and cleaning different surfaces such as stones and concretes. It is specially designed with tough industrial diamonds that makes it more tougher and rust proof.

What makes the diamond cup wheel tough?

The diamond cup wheel is a type of a diamond tool that contains diamond grains on its periphery using a bonding process: hot or cold pressing and other forms of combining methods. The industrial diamonds makes it more tougher compared to with other tools that are made with typical materials such as silicon carbide, aluminum and steel. The industrial-grade diamonds are valued for its tough and thermal conductivity.

Light Weight Cup Wheel

Here are some of the advantages of Diamond Cup Wheel:

• Wear resistance – The dimension is small and this can help on making a good quality grinding.
• Low processing and maintenance cost – The processing cost of each work piece will be lower while the tool maintenance will not be a problem.
• Less grinding force but high in grinding efficiency – This will decrease the energy consumption of the tool and makes your work faster without having any cracks or burn on your grinding task.

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.
