Types of Concrete Floor Grinding Projects
Every concrete floor presents a unique challenge. Choosing the right diamond tool depends on:

1. Concrete Hardness
Soft concrete: Requires harder bond diamond segments.
Hard concrete: Needs softer bond segments to expose more diamonds.

2. Surface Conditions

Coating removal (epoxy, glue, paint)
Surface leveling
Polishing preparation
High spot removal

3. Project Scale

Residential vs Commercial or Industrial
Large vs small surface areas

Tip: Using the wrong bond will reduce life and efficiency. Soft concrete can glaze hard-bond shoes;
hard concrete will wear out soft-bond shoes too quickly.

 Application
6#–16#
 Aggressive grinding / coating removal
30#–60#
 Medium grinding, surface prep
80#–120#
 Fine grinding, polishing prep

3. Choose the Right Segment Shape
Different segment shapes impact grinding speed and smoothness:
Arrow segments: Excellent for coating removal
Rectangle segments: General grinding
Round segments: Smooth finish
Trapezoid segments: High removal rate
SANG offers customizable 2-3 segment configurations based on your speed and finish requirements.
