Substrate Technology: Surface Preparation Tooling

From bare-concrete grinding to a high-gloss polish, the right diamond tooling makes every job faster, cleaner, and better. We carry diamond tooling for every stage of surface prep and polishing — metal-bond segments and cup wheels for grinding, resin pads for polishing, PCD for coating removal, and specialty tooling for terrazzo, marble, and bush-hammered finishes — for both walk-behind grinders and hand tools. Not sure what you need? Call and we'll match the tooling to your machine and your surface.

  • Runs wet or dry
  • Threaded arbor that fits any variable-speed hand grinder (standard 5/8″-11 — confirm your grinder)
  • Diamond segments last far longer than abrasive wheels and create less dust
  • Pairs well with a dust shroud and vacuum for cleaner, OSHA-friendly grinding
  • 30 and 60 Grit Available
  • Available in 4″, 5″ and 7″

 

 

PCD Cup Wheel

PCD Cup Wheel

  • Pairs well with a dust shroud and vacuum for cleaner, OSHA-friendly grinding
  • Polycrystalline diamond (PCD) segments that shear coatings instead of clogging
  • Available in 5″ and 7″
  • 7/8″ open-hole arbor — fits standard variable-speed hand grinders (confirm your grinder/adapter)
  • Aggressive removal on sticky, gummy materials that defeat normal diamond tooling
  • Best used dry with a dust shroud and vacuum — coating removal makes a lot of dust

  • Available in 50 or 100 grit

How to Choose Diamond Tooling

The right tool depends on the surface and the stage: metal-bond diamonds for grinding and prep, resin-bond pads for polishing, PCD for stripping coatings and glue. Bond hardness matters too — softer bonds for hard concrete, harder bonds for soft concrete. Not sure? Call us and we’ll match the bond, grit, and segment to your floor and machine.

Frequently Asked Questions

What diamond tooling do I need for grinding concrete? Metal-bond diamond segments or cup wheels, matched to your concrete’s hardness.

What’s the difference between metal-bond and resin-bond? Metal-bond diamonds grind and prep; resin-bond pads polish and refine. Most polished-concrete jobs use both, in sequence.

Do you carry tooling for my grinder? Yes — planetary tooling for Lavina and others, plus hand-grinder tooling in 5″ and 7″. Call with your machine and we’ll confirm the fit.
